Ionic solids have been known since the time of the cave man, who knew what salt was and gave it its name. The ancient Babylonians and ancient Greeks knew about a lot more ionic compounds.
As for who first separated them into their components, that was Sir Humphrey Davey in about 1805.
As for who explained how they do what they do, that was Svante August Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist of about 1895. He won the Nobel Prize.
Yes, LiBr (lithium bromide) is an ionic solid. It consists of lithium cations (Li+) and bromide anions (Br-) held together by ionic bonds.

Sulfer oxide is covalently bonded - so no, it is not an ionic solid.

In the solid state ionic crystals are not dissociated in ions.

Nickel is a metal and typically exists in a solid metallic form, rather than as an ionic compound. While nickel can form ionic compounds in certain chemical reactions, it is not considered an ionic solid in its pure elemental form.
