It depends.  Yes... unless you have a new version of the openssl
library.   It depends a lot on how/where you built Sage and the sage
notebook.  Did you install the optional openssl sage package?

No -- that's a subtle bug - it makes it possible to steal random
content from the RAM of the server without anyone being the wiser.
What the exploit does with the stolen data (a private key, a password,
etc.) is up to them.

Heartbleed is unbelieviably stomache-churning terrifying...
