That's not my experience with them. I've had them as a checking/brokerage account for 10+ years. I tend not to keep much money in checking so I run into timing issues once a year or so - where a check I wrote will present before the funds to cover it arrive in my account. I've definitely had them pull from the brokerage cash, but not from savings. They have never opened a margin loan to cover it.
Security Groups have some key differences from a host-based firewall. A packet destined for an EC2 instance will not make it to the instance IP stack and be evaluated there, it will be evaluated before it gets there.
It depends on your audience. A web dev that's relatively new to syadmin tasks... sure, it's like a host based firewall. For a syadmin or network admin, that explanation might be more confusing than helpful.
I've heard, as another poster pointed out, that the Professional level certs are well regarded. Associate, eh.
No one ever comes out and says "You were hired on the basis of a cert". It's just another factor. If you've got the experience they're probably not worth as much. If you don't, they'll help.
