Since my fios equipment is located on the outside garage wall, is there any way to connect a router to the equipment via the ethernet connection shown?
No you can not use the ethernet and MOCA ports simultaneously. It is either one or the other.
You can install a dual band wireless extender. https://teleproducts.verizon.com/fios/index.cfm/eh/DisplayDetails
