Does anyone know what was used on the top of the ANH Vader helmet to keep the dome in place? What are these 3 bumps? I'm sure I saw it somewhere on here, but I can't seem to find it.

They are an industrial velcro. You can find something similar used in old Apple computers. There are three in the dome as well that mate into the three you see on the mask.
 
Not Velcro, but interlocking snap-lock connectors. Similar system to velcro but completely different patent.
