I’ll make this brief and to the point. A BuddyPress Forum site is not a standard WordPress website. They are integrated together and share many things, but there are also major differences.
We spent months of testing a couple of years ago in 2013 to find out what is the most effective spam prevention method/protection: http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/buddypress-spam-registration-buddypress-anti-spam-registration/ The result of that extensive testing was JTC Anti-Spam|Anti-Hacker.
1. If you have a registration page and login page that are not protecting against auto-posting spambots then spambot user accounts will be created. Could be as low as 10 spambot accounts per day to as high as 1,000 per day. You can of course manually delete those spambot user accounts or just ignore them.
2. No. That code would not be beneficial on a BuddyPress Forum site unless you are also using the standard WordPress comment form that is used in typical WP Blog Posts. You can do both on a BuddyPress site, but typically all posting will occur in Topics, Replies and the Activity Stream.
3. That code would go in this Custom Code text box: CUSTOM CODE BOTTOM HOTLINKING/FORBID COMMENT SPAMMERS/BLOCK BOTS/BLOCK IP/REDIRECT CODE: Add miscellaneous code here
