No, this is not an IPV6 address.  This is "zeroconf".  Try to look up on
Google.  You may block that by adding NOZEROCONF to your
/etc/sysconfig/network file but it should not really harm anything.
OTOH you are missing a default route which means that you do not have a
gateway.

What for?  Presumably you are on 192.168.0.0/24 network and
'ping localhost' works too (through an internal connection).

There is no problem.  Everything looks like it should (unless you do
have a non-configured gateway and a missing default route and not only
LAN).
