Autobiographical memory is a type of episodic memory.
Episodic memory is memory which is tied to a certain time or place. It covers an episode, rather than semantic memory which is just facts not tied to any episode.
Episodic memory can be autobiographical, or experimental. Autobiographical means events in your life. For instance "what did you eat for breakfast this morning?" is autobiographical episodic memory.
The other sort of episodic memory is experimental memory. This is rare, and only really considered in cases of Psychological experiments. It involves someone learning something semantically (for instance, a list of words) which then becomes episodic as the person ties the information to the specific episode of processing the words for the experiment.

I wondered the same thing. I do not think that their IQ is necessarily extremely high; I do wonder, however, if their superior autobiographical memory extends to things they have studied or read, which may result in very high test scores.

As someone that has a good memory, but not a "superior autobiographical memory," I can say that, yes, it extends to things that have been read and studied and it equates to a higher than average I.Q. I have been told by 'average' people that it is highly unusual for someone to remember their babyhood years or what may have happened even in grammar school. I thought I was just unusual and never spoke of it. Now my curiosity is piqued.

Autobiographical memory tends to become more selective and focused on specific significant events as people age. Older adults may experience more difficulty recalling recent events but tend to have strong memories from early adulthood and adolescence. Overall, older adults may rely more on well-rehearsed narratives to structure and recall autobiographical memories.

Only in the abstract. There are people with "autobiographical" memory, but no one who can remember "everything" that they see and hear. People with autobiographical memory can remember certain details of each day of decades of their life, but the details are hardly exhaustive. Research into the phenomenon has shown that the feat is accomplished at the cost of their spending a large portion of each day remembering what they remember.
Even if such a person as the character on Unforgettable did exist, their memory would be subject to false memory syndrome and the other cognitive factors that influence our personal realities and the affect the clarity of our memories.

An autobiographical sentence is any sentence that is written from a 'first person' perspective. This means that any sentence starting with 'I', 'we' etc which refers to the person writing the sentence can be termed as an autobiographical sentence. In other words anyone writing about their ideas, activities, events, feelings etc. or anything under the sun from their perspective provided they have 'first person' pronouns like 'I', 'we' etc. in the sentence can be considered as an autobiographical sentence. In many cases sentences following autobiographical sentences can also be considered as an autobiographical sentence even if it doesn't have a pronoun provided it clearly depicts the writer/speaker of the sentence.
For eg: 'We looked at each other. The hatred was mutual.' Here the second sentence can also be considered as an autobiographical sentence as it clearly shows the writer's feelings.
Other examples:
1.I like ice-cream.
2.We enjoy going for movies.
3.I shouldn't have allowed them to go without me.
To sum it up, an autobiographical sentence is one in which the speaker or writer is referring to himself or herself.
