Yes. Purphoros is the source of the damage caused when each of its triggers resolve, and the Sphere prevents all damage the chosen source would deal this turn, no matter how many times the sources tries to deal damage in that turn.
Would the same happen if I do Channel Harm and Comeuppance? Would it save me from the ten triggers?
Yes. Again, "prevent all damage from such and such source(s) would deal this turn" still works if the source(s) is/are dealing damage multiple separated times in the same turn.
Yes. Manabarbs is red and the source of the damage.
To know the source of damage, you just look at who is dealing the damage in the text. If it reads "Purphoros deals 2 damage", the source of damage is Purphoros, not the ability itself or the player or the creatures that entered and triggered the ability. If it reads "Manabarbs deals 1 damage", the source of the damage is Manabarbs, not the ability or the land that was tapped or anything else.

Just to clarify.. if I use it to tap it for red with the Sphere, I won't be hurt for the rest of the turn when I tap my lands correct with manabarbs out?

That's correct, once Sphere's ability has resolved, all damage the source you chose (here, Manabarbs) would deal to you this turn is prevented. Doesn't matter if the damage comes from a separate trigger, the source is still Manabarbs.

2) Can Manabarbs damage be prevented if I use red mana on Protective Sphere?
