It doesn’t go in your theme or child theme folder.
You should upload the bbpress plugin, which will then place the bbpress files in your wp-content/plugins folder. Whiolst you can do that yourself, let wordpress and the plugin do their work
so Dashboard>plugins>add new plugin and search for bbpress, then load it and activate
Do the same with buddypress
on your 2 questions
1. yes there are plugins that allow an upload – for instance https://wordpress.org/plugins/gd-bbpress-attachments/
2. Just disable that part dashboard>settings>forums> look for forum root slug, and you’ll see a tick box to disable it.
