Yes, that should work for you. In regards to turning 12v into 5v to power your control system. You should be able to disassemble a car 12v to 5v USB charger in order to obtain your 5v ( just make sure it can supply enough current to power your controls).
The AC terminals are exposed, please use a great deal of caution when working with the AC.
Stay safe!

To me, the changing rules are a big part of the fun. If the rules stayed the same year to year, robots would start to look the same. That would be boring. - Richard Wallace [more]
