Yes, that's normal. The server can only bind to local addresses that exist on the machine.
Port forwarding is what allows people to connect via your external IP address and get forwarded to a machine on your LAN.

Yes thats normal. The ip 192.168.1.100 is only the computer the server is running on. As for the ports did your dad forward 2700-2720. If those were the ones he opened your server wont post online. The ports should be 27000-27020. But all you really need is 27015 TCP and UDP.

That may be your routers ip address, every router can be a bit different though.
