They are strong and main advantage is actually it being light so to save on weight. But even being strong have a limit, right? So in a collision it will still break, however unlike metal that crumples and absorb the impact, carbon fiber will snap and break. Heard that it is actually illegal to be fitted to daily drives as in a collision it will breaks and cut.....

As far as I know they are hard enough to withstand this type of impact and some actually have a layer of lacquer over it. Because I have read some complaint from forumers saying they want to respray their carbon fibre because the lacquer got chipped?

PU is poly urethane (similar material like bumper and now people use those for bushin replacement as well)
if FRP is fibreglass reinforced plastic.....

If you mean vs CF, totally different materials....
