There are many websites that run on a Java format and downloading Sun Java can help that. The download can be found through the Java website and through Oracle.
No, Java is a completely safe program from Oracle Software. Plus, Java comes preloaded on all computers, so therefore it is safe.
Sun java can also be downloaded via Oracle's website. Click on the appropriate sun java plug-in to download from the website. From there, follow the installation instructions.
JDK updates can be downloaded from the Oracle website by looking under "Oracle technology network", then under "Java" and then under "Java SE" under "Downloads".

The standard place to download the main Java files is the Oracle Java site. You can separately download different IDEs, depending on your preference. I am not sure what "unnecessary files" are contained in any of these downloads; however, you can sometimes choose different options, depending on your specific needs. For example, Oracle Java site contains both a version for the end-user (with less files), and one for developers/programmers (with more files).

An Oracle certification in Java programming and technologies can help set you apart from other applicants if you are looking for a job. The higher level Oracle Java certifications (i.e. Certified Java Developer and higher) show advanced knowledge of Java in specialized areas, while the Oracle Certified Java Programmer certification shows that you can actually program in Java.
They are not comparable to each other. Oracle is a company/organization, or a database (developed by the organization with the same name). Java is a general purpose programming language. You may write a Java program not using Oracle database as the persistence. And you may use Oracle Database without Java programming language. Interestingly though, Oracle, the company, does provide both Oracle and Java Certification programs.
