There's actually nothing indicating he flew out of it. He simply used his leg power to push him self out of it. If he had decided to fly out he wouldn't have needed to brace himself against the cage's walls.
Also if he was flying at his max speed to get out, which we've seen in Thor's film that the Hammer can break the sound barrier, I would say he hit with more force than what Hulk would have.
Also I don't believe the armor powers him up. I believe it was just Thor visibly showing he was taking the kid gloves off.
Also I'm willing to bet a Thor lightning barrage/Lightning Hammer strike is greater than Alien laser barrage based on demonstrated feats.
