Step 1: Database config — is this a new Database that I need to create? Or should I use the same database that WordPress is using?

It’s easiest to just use the same database that you use for WordPress. It makes things easier when you go to integrate the two. Just be certain the table prefixes are unique for bbPress and WordPress. WordPress uses wp_ and bbPress uses bb_ by default, so if you don’t change them you will be fine. You do NOT want to install bbPress using a wp_ table prefix. Bad things will happen.
