I have downloaded the bitcoin core wallet and I obtained through the vanitygen software a new vanity address.
How do I import it to my bitcoin core safely? How to setup a password on the wallet?

To import it in safety you can do it in an offline machine, but don't forget it's useless to do so if you've generated your address online.

On Bitcoin Core, you can encrypt your wallet on Settings - Encrypt Wallet

Is bitcoin core good? I personally use an electrum wallet and a coinbase wallet. I am not really into security and stuff because I have a small amount of bitcoins, I am trying to say it is not worth to hack my account. What software wallet is the safest? I am trying to increase the security of my bitcoin wallet.

Can you only encrypt a wallet on bitcoin core? Or can you encrypt other wallets?

Normally Bitcoin wallets store the private keys that you need to access a bitcoin address and spend your funds and They come in different forms, designed for different types of device. You can even use paper storage to avoid having them on a computer at all. it is very important to secure and back up your bitcoin wallet.
