This probably means that there's backup job still waiting.

You should make sure the SD is running - killing the FD at this point
won't help you :-)

Most probably, yes.
Unfortunately, you don't give enough details to understand the problem...
See below for more information.

Rather old, but should work anyway...

Not exactly the catalog backend for best performance.

Ok, the configuration doesn't look broken.
First, make sure all the daemons are running and the device is not in
use by a backup job. Assuming your backups are already done (or you
cancelled them, for example by restarting the FD :-) simply shut down
the whole Bacula system - DIR, SD and FD - and start it again.
When you have bacula runing and use bconsole to start a restore job,
everything should work normally or you should at least get meaningful
messages.
