a] I have virtual user accounts and all my users have their accounts in the database. Their home directories/maildirs are somewhere in the /var.
I'd like to know, if will make all the users via the webmail interface able to use the sa-learn program for teaching: will the settings made by all of the users system-wide, or per-user?
By default the bayes database is per-user and goes in their home directory. You can over-ride the bayes_path setting to force it to a single globally used directory if you want.
b] what's the difference between the bayes and sa-learn?
In short, sa-learn is one piece of SpamAssassin's "bayes" system.
Bayes is a short name people use for the bayesian classifier system in SpamAssassin.
Sa-learn is the tool that trains spamassassin's bayes engine and creates a database of tokens.
Thus sa-learn is one piece of the overall whole that people are talking about when they say "bayes" in reference to SpamAssassin. The rest of bayes is the database that sa-learn creates, and the parts of the normal spamassassin engine that use the bayes database to classify email.
