I will not be very helpful; I am just posting because no one else has tried to help.

In the admission packet, one of the sheets should have directed you to here:
[Discover the Heights - Welcome to the Honors Program](Admission - Boston College)

For me personally, the highlights of honors at BC include 4 years of housing and the senior thesis. Anything more specific might not apply to you because I am in CSOM.

As for the second paragraph, I cannot really help you at all because I am not too familiar with how medical school works. A lot of my friends are looking to be doctors though, and I have noticed some things from them. I am from Georgia, and a lot of kids turn down better schools to attend UGA for pre-med and keep their GPAs higher (and pockets heavier), and I do believe I have heard that GPA is VERY important for med school. However, if you put in the work and keep a high GPA in the BC Honors program than you will only be a more competitive applicant! Good luck on your decision!
