If the beam bends such that the plane of the loading is parallel to axis of the beam passing through its center of gravity then the bending is known as in-plane bending. Otherwise due to effects of twisting and lateral forces perpendicular to the plane of loading then it is called out-of-plane bending

The importance of shear force and bending moment diagram in mechanics lies in structural design and in deflection of beams.
The effects of bending moments for ships causes support beams to bend as well due to the stresses of the weight it bares. Over time the weight on the support beams will gradually begin to bend.
Assuming linear elastic bending with small deformations and planes perpendicular to the neutral axis remain plane after bending, then for a rectangular beam: Moment = (Yield Stress)*(Second Moment of Area)/(Distance of surface to Neutral Axis) For Ultimate Bending Moment, assume stress is uniform throughout the beam, and acting through half the distance from surface to neutral axis, then: Moment = Stress * (Area/2)*(h/4 + h/4) For a better visualization check out Popov's textbook, Engineering Mechanics of Solids, Chapter 6, Section 6.10
Yes, they are. You can use online calculator for fised beam to find bending moment and fixed-end moment due to different load cases.
The resisting bending moment is the product of the yield strength (of the beam material) and the section modulus of the beam. The RBM thus combines the material attributes as well as the geometric attributes of the beam and gives a useful metric to compare different beams irrespective of material or sectional geometry.
