Poland is a safe country; you don't have to worry about someone snatching your backpack or phone.
The city is currently renovating the large "Jeziorańskiego" roundabout, which separates the stadium from the city center. All tram traffic stops at this roundabout; after that, you have to transfer to a bus.
If you have a match ticket, bus and tram travel is free for the two hours before and after the match.
Taxis, Uber, and Bolt will be running, but the streets around the stadium may be partially closed, and getting to the stadium itself may be impossible (I'm not sure). And on matchday, the traffic are much higher. It's better to take the tram. Of course, it will be crowded, and people will be singing loudly about Lech. Sometimes the entire tram will jump. You don't have to sing or jump; it's not frowned upon. I almost never do it.
There are food and beverage options at the stadium. If beer is available, 0.4 liters of 3% beer will cost 18 PLN. Food includes popcorn, natchos and hot dogs (I don't remember the price, probably around 25 PLN). NOTE: You CAN bring your own snacks into the stadium, but you can't bring your own drinks – security will require you to leave them at the gate.
If you want to buy juice, water, or cola, you'll get it in an open bottle. I always bring a Coca-Cola cap from home, so if I buy a bottled drink, I can put the cap back on.
Officially, security can ask for ID, but I've never encountered this before.
There was also a question about whether it would be safe to wear your "colors" in Poznań.
Honestly, I don't know. It's possible that no one will say anything, but aggressive behavior could occur. Sorry, I can't be of any help on that.

Would it be safe to walk from the roundabout to the stadium or is there any traffical obstructions hindering that?

From the roundabout there is a straight road to the stadium, you have to go along "Grunwaldzka" street until you see the stadium. It's a wide street, and there will be police patrols every few hundred meters. There are several shops and a McDonald's along the way.

Food/Drink:
In a restaurant/club:
Burgers 30-45 PLN
30cm pizza 35-40 PLN
Beer 0.5l 18 PLN
Alcoholic drinks from 20 PLN
Juice/Cola - from 10 PLN
Spaghetti from 35 PLN
Steak from 70 PLN
McDonalds (and other fast food restaurants) 30-45 PLN for a set with a burger, fries, and a Coke
Tipping is NOT mandatory in Poland. If you want it, you can, if you don't, you can't.
In a store:
Beer 4-5 PLN for a half-liter can.
Poznań has its own brewery, which produces a beer called "Lech"
If you'd like to try it, look for the ones in golden cans. It's a Pilsner with a subtle bitterness.
Water - 2-3 PLN per 1.5 liter
Cola/juice - 7 PLN per 1.5 liter
Cigarettes - not sure, probably around 25 PLN per pack
Sandwich - 12-15 PLN
In the city center, after 22:00, you can only buy alcohol in bars/pub. Shops outside the city center sell alcohol until closing time.
It is FORBIDDEN to drink alcohol outside of bars. Don't do it on the street, sidewalk, or lawn. You can walk around with a closed can of beer, but drinking will result in a fine. Also, around the stadium, there will be a heavy police presence there.

What to visit in Poznań besides the stadium:
In the middle of the market square is the town hall, whose towers will be butted by artificial goats at 12:00 noon. This is a nod to the city's history.
The ornately decorated "Fara" Church is directly adjacent to the market square. It's beautiful inside and can be visited unless Mass is in progress.
And on the Warta River is a cathedral built over a thousand years ago. It's grand, and inside are the sarcophagi of Polish rulers, but it doesn't have the opulent décor of the parish church.
There's a huge park complex in Poznań called "Citadela." It houses a World War II armor museum, where you can climb a tank, touch a plane, or even a rocket launcher, and visit the museum.
We have many museums, but I suspect you won't have time to visit them all.
The Warta River flows through Poznań – you can legally drink alcohol and barbecue on the riverbank.
Between the market square and the train station is a castle that served as Adolf H.'s official residence during World War II.
You'll be approached by girls in the market square inviting you to "adult" clubs. Don't go there – it's very expensive and you'll be pressured to spend money.
You'll have no problem communicating in English.
