What are the holes on an outlet for?

The holes on the back are there for quick wiring. You strip the wire and then insert it into the holes. It is held in place by spring tension. I do not recommend you wire the outlet by using these holes. From my experience the wires are not secure enough. Strip the wire and wrap it around the screws and tighten it securely which is what all the good electricians I know do. Takes a little longer but IMO it is more secure.

What is the name of a safety device that will shut off flow of electricity?

Devices used to open an electrical circuit are called OCPD's. (overcurrent protection devices) The most common are circuit breakers and fuses. In commercial motor starters they often employ another OCPD called a "heater" (UK thermal fuse) which is a metal strip which melts like the element in a small fuse when too much current (amps) go through it. They devices are in the circuit primarily to protect the wiring and devices they power. Circuit breakers such as in your home panel do protect you from a "shorted" circuit. Another safety and most common in residences are GFCI's or ground fault circuit interrupters (UK ELCB, Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker or RCD, Residual Current Detector) which come as both a receptacle (female plug) or as a circuit breaker.
