At fork.lol it's currently saying it's 1.04 more profitable to mine BCH than BTC.

How can this be when BTC is 6 times the price of BCH. Does this mean BCH miners will be producing blocks about 6 times faster than on the BTC chain?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

It would be more profitable due to it being a new alt coin which has a much less difficulty rating which means that people can mine more with lesser equipment. Bitcoin requires a rather large investment to start mining.

I think the emergency difficulty adjustment(EDA) that bitcoin cash had has a role in it. It allows Bitcoin Cash to sustain by adjusting difficulty downward if it has only a small proportion of the hash rate. In my opinion, Bitcoin cash makes bitcoin flawed since it created its allow miners to flip-flop between any coin, so it makes a detain to bitcoin development.
