Hello,
I'm still a bit confused about SASL and SSL from a client programming
perspective (and the almost complete lack of documentation doesn't help
much).

1. Does a SASL bind produce an encrypted session for any communication
that follows the authentication or does it just encrypt the bindDN and
credentials?

It can produce an encrypted communications session, and usually does.

Can't help you with the rest.
