Yes that is a very well designed and maintained sump pump. The only other thing I would add is battery backup, unless it is off camera.
That carboy is now potentially contaminated, but I may or may not matter. You’ll find out in a few weeks.

I mean there’s so much froth and gas coming out at any one time that the odds of hostile microbes managing to colonize the wort is very low, just because it can’t even get in. Add in the vicious population difference, and it’s no contest.

I think the risk is low as long as you are doing a relatively quick ferment. I wouldn’t let it sit in secondary for months or anything.

Yeah, you could primary ferment in an open container and the risk would be very small.

Yeah, open tub fermatation is safe. The yeast out competes everything else in the tub, not really giving any other microbes any chance to form a colony.
