I think you're looking for ps aux. Check the manpage. There's an enormous
amount of information in the manpages for every command.

ftpd gets loaded from inetd. Uncomment the correct line in /etc/inetd.conf
and restart inetd.

Yes, inetd has tcp-wrapper functionality compiled in. Look at 
/etc/hosts.allow and read the comments.

Probably, I recommend google.
