In Addition to Martijn's answer:

Most likely you're using a way other than the firebird-API to handle
your database connection and queries. I guess most of the functionality
you asked for is part of that toolkit you use to connect, so you should
look at your classes/toolkit's online-help to find out what is possible and
what is not.

Regarding the logged in user: If firebird is installed as Classic Server
on a UNIX system (I'm not sure how the Windows-version behaves here),
you will only see your own connection, because the other connections
are handled by individual firebird-processes.

Make sure you use super-server if you want to know all the users connected
to your database.

As Martijn said, 2.) is not possible. I guess 3.) and 4.) can be easily solved
with your database-acccess-toolkit's functions.
