That's not a GDPR fine, that's an ICO fine under a different (but similar and related) regulation (Germany and France have similar ones IIRC). The suggestion is that the US adopt GDPR-style regulation, which penalizes for infringement to procedures of data governance, NOT whether data is actually breached. (EDIT: obviously a breach will trigger a GDPR investigation)

Yes, that's an ICO fine under the previous data protection law in the UK.

Now that we have GDPR and the new data protection law ICO will be issuing fines under the new law.

This old case is an example of how the ICO regulate, and the things they'll take into account. GDPR wouldn't make much difference for this case.
