I am thinking of pairing this with the lg wh16ns40 super multi blue blu-ray drive, but don't know what cables i need to connect this to the drive?

All connections for SATA drives are already in the box, so you should need nothing other than the case.

Will this work for the optical drive taken out of my broken Mac book pro (mid 2010)?

Like too many Amazon product descriptions, this one includes multiple products. There is a 9.5mm drive enclosure included that will probably work with the MacBook Pro drive.

Will this allow my laptop to play Blu ray disks?

Yes, as long as you install A Blu-ray drive and have playback software on your laptop. This unit does not come with a drive installed. That's a separate purchase.
