Depends on the Firebird version. I believe in 2.0 or earlier there was a
difference, but that is no longer the case

Might depend on the endianness of the platform.

Yes you can. If you want to be really sure you should use the
transportable backup format (which is the default, but it always helps to
double check this, because I have seen some examples that set
non-transportable (-NT) in the gbak commandline options).
