I have no idea what mealy bug worms are but old-fashioned mothballs are not recommended - the ones made from naphthalene. But you can use one of the fly/moth killer strips that are impregnated with dichlovos if you are in the US. (They are illegal in the EU). I have also used pyrethrum powder or even malathion powder placed under some newspaper that you then stand the seed on.
It depends on your definition of 'worm'. Earth worms and water worms both belong to the Phylum Annelid, if all Annelids are worms then water worms are worms.

if there is no air in the container, or the container is left out in the hot sun to long, or if it is left in the cold to long or if the container does not have water or nutrients for the worms then yes they will all die
because it gives the worms plenty of oxygen to breathe .
It depends how big the worms are and how big the container is. Why are you planning to cook them for a bird? (You do know that they chew it themselves...)
gut
It's called a crop.
No. Any worms you might see in flour or pancake mix are the larva of storage pests. Those will not parasitize your body.
To start worm farming you will need a strong container about 7" deep, 9-10" wide and 14-16" in length. In the container add shredded newspaper (not colored paper) dampened, but not soaked. Add a few handfuls of garden soil, a few crushed egg shells and the worms. Worms most suitable for worm composting farms are red worms (also known as red wrigglers or manure worms), blue worms and tiger worms. Keep the bedding material moist. Place in shaded or dark area.
A complex unexpected problem or unsolvable dilemma, as in Tackling the budget cuts is sure to open a can of worms. This expression alludes to a container of bait used for fishing, which when opened reveals an inextricable tangle of worms. [1920s]
well , you know compost heaps? you get similar stuff put it in a big container that can breath then add worms. you put damp paper on top to keep moisture some people have like a small hole in the container for worm wee to come out. if you put 1 sixth of this 5 sixths water you can put it on plants. A worm farm is a way to recycle household food and non-food items. A worm farm is started in a strong container, usually plastic, about 9x14x7 inches. In the container you need to add dampened shredded newspaper. Add a few handfuls of garden soil, a few crushed eggs shells to the newspaper and the worms. Keep the bedding material wettish but not drenched. The worms most suitable for worm farms are red worms (also known as red wrigglers or manure worms), blue worms and tiger worms. In addition to recycling household waste, the worm farm will produce a rich soil that can be used for house plants, vegetable gardens and lawns.
