Ibuki is breathing technique.

2. Bunkai = an opponent does this and what I do to avoid it and attack?

Bunkai is the analyzis/examination of techniques and, especialy, the kata to find the real applications (called "oyo") and what they are realy about. In kyokushin we generaly dont differ between the analyzis and the application, and calls it both "bunkai".
So Bunkai = what is the reason I move the elbow in this way in this technique, and what purpose has the small sidestep in this kata? Is this jump in the kata a indication of a throw? How can this move be applied in a real fight?
There is a old saying that in karate a kick is not always a kick, a block is not always a block and a punch is not always a punch. In bunkai we ask the question "what are they then?", and try to figure it out.
Then when you have found (preferably realistic) applications (Oyo) through the process of bunkai, you can practice them. Some call this bunkai training even though that is slightly missgiving, since bunkai actualy means the process of research to FIND the applications, not practice them once you found them.
