yes, the active and passive parts refer to the types of pickups that are in a guitar. Many production models only make use of one type of pickup but some custom built Guitars have both types of pickups in them.

Some bass guitars have the option to switch between active and passive. An example I can think of is the Washburn XB120, a very cheap Bass Guitar. I believe you pull the tone knob, and this switches into passive mode.

if you replace the input jack and pots yes.

actives are a "Blessing" though, you can swap them at will , meaning say you have an 81 EMG and 85 EMG .. the 85 can go into your bridge and the 81 in your neck without any soldering or anything.

plus say you wanted a blackout or something by Seymour duncan , you can do that too, just put it into the same cable and you're good.

Actually, you can play both bass and guitar on any amplifier. But to produce a better and lower sound for bass, you need a special amplifier for it. I am not sure that there is an amplifier that can play bass and guitar with equal quality.
