If you grab the latest v2.1 branch of bbPress from Trac here that fix is included
Yep, once you are done and have checked that the import worked and are happy with it just delete the phpBB tables.
Export the database but don’t import it into your WordPress database you are going to use, import the phpBB database is its own separate database as once the data is imported you will be able to remove/delete that database as it will no longer be needed (just make sure you do keep a backup).
Other than that it looks like you are good to go.
You should export the entire phpBB database using from the current hosting provider and import it into your new hosting provider, remote migrations are not supported. Each of your hosting providers should have some documentation on how to import and export the MySQL database. You will not need to instal phpBB on your site to import the data, you only need the actual database.
This should also help http://codex.bbpress.org/import-forums/
The ‘default’ phpBB MySQL table prefix is “phpbb_”

As for the other side of things I haven’t tried to do what you are trying to do with MultiSite though a quick test install locally to give it a run through different scenarios would be the best bet to see what the outcome is.
See this topic for your 1st problem:
http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/customising-bbp_list_forums-last-poster-block/
I also added some code for you to add some code to your themes functions.php for your 2nd problem rather than hacking the core bbPress files:
Its never a good idea to modify the bbPress core file as any changes you make will be lost when bbPress is updated, instead add this code to your themes functions.php.
The code is here https://gist.github.com/3797945

I cannot reproduce this with a couple of sites I have.
Can you go to your WordPress Dashboard -> Tools -> Forums -> Repair Forums
Run the repair tool to ‘Recalculate private and hidden forums’ and see if that fixes your issue .
(It would also be a good idea to run the rest of those tools to ensure all the forums/topics/replies are in sync).
You should NOT be able to view a private forum directly by its URL.
Are you using the latest bbPress v2.1.2?
I would suggest trying http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-search-widget/ as it is actively being developed.
Agreed, looking good @johnjamesjacoby

Is your vBulletin forum currenty setup on the same web host?
If so rather than using the IP what happens if you leave the remote server as ‘localhost’ rather than using the IP?
bbPress 2.1 includes a conversion tool to import forums/topics/replies/users from some of the popular forum packages eg. bbPress or phpBB
There is an ‘example’ file also included as a ‘reference template’ that if your forum software is using a SQL database then you could easily modify this to be a custom importer by matching the correct database tables/fields etc
The file is called ‘example.php’ and is located in /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-admin/converters
Just add a link called ‘Forums’ to http://unifyyoseikan.org/forums to your menu navigation in WP-Admin -> Appearence -> Menus
Did you run ‘Repair Forums’ after the import?
http://codex.bbpress.org/repair-forums/
Is this the correct URL for your new forums? httpp://elanillounico.com/forums
Have you seen the shortcodes included with bbPress?

Can you create a ticket in trac with repo steps and screenshots etc
Info on contributing to core http://bbpress.org/about/development/
Instructions for Installing bbPress in your language are now on the codex.
Instructions for Installing bbPress in your language are now on the codex.
Its the ‘WP-Markdown’ plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-markdown/
Why not use the shortcodes that come with bbPress?
Do you have any other plugins activated? Try disabling them to see if there is a conflict.
Also deactivate bbPress then reactivate the plugin which should reset the permissions.
I removed the BuddyPress section from the FAQ as after pointing someone to the FAQ I got a question “Do I have to install BuddyPress?” so to avoid confusion it is now separate.
