Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

No. As of writing, the block chain is at block 160220. Source: https://blockexplorer.com/q/getblockcount

According to the wiki, the change to 25 BTC per block happens on block 210000. If you don't believe the wiki article, this can be verified by looking at the bitcoin source code.
