Well, Mozilla recive money from Google, not only to use it as default search engine, it’s way deeper, so Mozilla send data to Alphabet, googleanalytics and googletagmanager, as said, if you create an account in Mozilla, Google also receive this data.
The Firefox save browsing API is also from Google, the same which also in the Cromiums, which in Vivaldi can be desactivated in the settings, like other Google APIs left to the user choice. Extern sponsores never are a good idea, it gives other the power to make decisions for the own brand. I hope that Mozilla manages to finish this contract next year, as intended.
Yes, Google can limit the lists which use adblocker extensions, eg uBO, but not the lists itself used by others. Anyone can use the filterlist he want. I think that also FF will be forced in the future to use an inbuild adblocker.
To be clear Google has no direct way to force FF to do shit. The reason Google is implementing v3 is to disrupt adblocking (by dropping v2 APIs) the reason Mozilla is supporting v3 is to make life easier for extension Devs. They don’t have to comply with same restrictions
Not at all, the API also send Data to Google, its not a simple list hosted by the Browser but by Google. At least I’ve desactivated it, because the adblocker do the same, if you use eg uBO, it also wikk block webs with malware or fraudulent content, because these are also in the blocklists, so the save browsing API isn’t really needed. Better sending data to GitHub as to Google.

Mozilla don’t make life easier for the devs, these must anyway change to V3, yes or yes, or their extensions will stop working and die, that simple.
It is, however it doesn’t send data to google. Browser receives the list of all unsafe pages and checks against it locally
