Are you saying that if I have a firmware password on my MBA that my internal SSD is inaccessible via Thunderbolt externally (until I've entered my password)?

No, but your TB device wouldn't have read access to physical memory (where keys would be)
No - but it means that a device can't read your FileVault keys out of memory so all they can read is the encrypted volume.
