Sorry for not replying sooner.  Some notes:

For irreducibility, you don't need to worry about that. We already
have full irreducibility algorithms implemented in the polys, so you
can just use Poly(whatever).is_irreducible (you should be using
entirely the polys, by the way).  Feel free to implement further
algorithms if you want (I don't know if we use that prime number one).
 I do know that we use a combination of rational root, Eisenstein, and
as a final option, it passes the polynomial to the factorization
algorithm, which is complete, so that if it returns the original
polynomial as the complete factorization, we know that it must be
irreducible.

What book specifically do you need?  I have a copy of Dummit and Foote
if that's the one you need.
