SERVER_IP should be the in-VPN IP here, otherwise yes, and remove .0.0.0/0
and ::/0 from AllowedIPs.

Yes. You can confirm via "ip addr list dev wgX" on the server.

Sorry, not familiar with ufw; generally you need to allow only connections
from the WG interface, or from the internal IP range (or just the "Address ="
of the client), and block all others.
