The battery is removeable just internal but you do not need to worry much about it. Use it charge it discharge it. Use the HP Battery diagnostic tool in the HP Support Assistant every 3 or 4 months to check its status. Avoid running it down below about 15%. This is a modern lithium ion battery. There is no memory effect and a lot of "urban myth" about laptop batteries is just that. Maybe true 20 years ago, no longer a problem. As I said use it enjoy it set it and forget it.
M.2 mSSD slot is a yes. Here is the Service Manual:
The best image is page 30. The hard drive, which you will see in yours, is above and at right angles to the battery. The M.2 slot is to the left of the battery. The picture shows an M.2 disk in place: your slot will be empty. If you want to add an M.2 disk you need to get the PCIe/NVME variety. Your laptop will accept either a SATA or NVME but you want the latter as they do not cost much, if any, more and are at least 3 or 4 times as fast.
This is the recommended 256 gig M.2 NVME:
GNRC SSD 256 GB 228 0M2 PCIe 3x4SS NVMeTLC TL 847109-005
In the US, HP sells this for $102 which is a steal but they also have a 512 which is only a few bucks more:
Post back if you want help ordering.
MXM video card is a big no. Sorry. I actually have the Omen with the nVidia Geforce 1050M and I am not thrilled with it but it is not bad, either.
