If you hover over any of those links in your email client you'll probably see in the tooltip that they lead somewhere else. Even from what you've pasted I can see one of them leads to wowaccounadmin-login-management.com which clearly isn't a Blizzard address. Entirely bogus.
Besides, your account will be with wow-europe.com and when you click on account management via that site it takes you to battle.net. If you want to check your account status just log in via this route.

Yup, looks like BS. Trying to scare you into giving them your details by suggesting someone else has hacked your account. As cern says, if i was ever unsure I would never follow the links in the email but go to the site itself (that I know and trust) and login from there.

Ya have pretty much ignored it and figured the same but nice to have corroboration! :)
