Firebird security hasn't changed since the book was written. :-) So there
are no "database passwords". If you read Chapter 35, you will find it is
about using SQL permissions for database-level security.

Only in the server. If you want database-level passwords, you will have to
"roll your own" for now.

security.fdb is just a database. Back it up just like any other
database. Keep the backup secure, though, i.e. store the backup file onto
a CD to be kept in the safe, and delete the original backup.
