Empty string ('') is not a null. Try explicitly passing NULL, viz.
IB_Connection1.AlterUser(uaAddUser,Edit1.Text,Edit2.text,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL);

afaiK, you can't add Firebird/InterBase users if their user names are
already present as Linux users.

Have you been able to log in to your Linux databases using this sysdba
password *at all*? What happens if you set PasswordStorage to psNone and
set LoginPrompt true?

No, it has no effect on Windows servers at all.
