Will it make it faster to find date > a certain date?

Adding an index on date column definitely increases performance.
SQlite does not have a specific datetime type. You can use TEXT , REAL or INTEGER types, whichever suits your needs.
SQLite uses B-tree for organizing indexes. Note that B stands for balanced, B-tree is a balanced tree, not a binary tree. The B-tree keeps the amount of data at both sides of the tree balanced so that the number of levels that must be traversed to locate a row is always in the same approximate number.
The SQLite date() function is used to calculate the date and return it in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD'. The SQLite datetime() function is used to calculate a date/time value, and return it in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS'. The SQLite julianday() function returns the date according to julian day.
In general yes, but keep in mind that SQLite only uses one index per-table (except in the case of OR clauses). Always use EXPLAIN to find out how the engine will process a given query.
