Quick comparison between the PA0RDT Mini-Whip and The RA0SMS Mini-Whip
Since I use RG6 coax with F connectors as the antenna feed, the easiest way to ground the coax is use a CATV grounding block.

30 dB in line amplifier [Not Answered, sorry I accidentally hit accept on the comment.]
Unless I am missing something or that is the wrong link, the antenna is for 144 and 450 MHz. The KiwiSDR only receives to 30 MHz. Unless you have a pretty big discone, it won't work very well at HF.
As to the amplifier, the gain isn't so much a factor as how much power it can put out. If you have no transmitters nearby it shouldn't be a problem. If you do, what ever couples from it's antenna into the receive antenna will be amplified. The amplifier you have the link for says max output is +10 dBm. That is a pretty big signal for a receiver but I don't believe it will harm the Kiwi.
