A. If the whole disk is encrypted how will anyone else be able to access anything on the laptop, including the login screen or password tables? Initially, a user of a encrypted disk will be prompted for the PIN or passphrase to unlock it. But maybe once unlocked the laptop could be vulnerable to unauthorized access?

you may not be able to access anything on the laptop, but you are still on the laptop. it did not say anything about reading the data. just about getting on to it. a host-based firewall would implicitly deny that RDP type traffic so Mr. WannabeRobot would fail in his feeble attempt.
