How does a lien protect the lien holder on a car?
A lien holder on a car title or car loan just means that person is the full owner of the car. If your car gets totalled or goes into default, the lien holder can retrieve the car from you because they have full ownership of the car. Lien Holders are used for lending purposes. This means the lien holder has no liability responsibility. The registered person on the car is required to have liability coverage on the car according to law and not hold the lien holder liability on the car if the car gets damaged or totaled. Lien Holder means they fully own the vehicle until the loan is paid off.
Can a lien holder take a full settlement if there are other lien holders?
Yes--as to that lienholder's lien only.
Can a lien holder charge interest on forced placed insurance?
Yes they can. If the lien holder had to advance the premium to pay for the insurance, the amount is added to your finance note with the interest. Force Placed Insurance is coverage obtained by the lien holder to cover their interest in the financed property when the buyer fails to meet the required coverage conditions of the finance note. No coverage is provided to the buyer at all, only the lien holder. Basically if the finance company has obtained force placed insurance coverage then the buyer is already in default on the terms of the finance contract. The cost of the coverage is added to your bill or finance note without benefit of coverage to the buyer.

Can you file a claim with your insurance company if your car is stolen and there is a lien on it?
If you maintained "comprehensive coverage" on the car, absolutely. This differs from collision coverage in that collision coverage is triggered by a physical impact to the vehicle and resulting damage. Comprehensive covers a broader range of occurrences. The lien holder is likely to have required you to maintain comprehensive and collision coverage in order to protect its security interest in the vehicle. That is, the insurance provides some assurance that the lien will be satisfied from the insurance proceeds. In that respect, the lien holder likely required that it be named as a "loss payee" on the policy, so any settlement will be paid jointly to you and to it.
