Answer 1

You should put your self-generated ID into the URL:

curl -X POST -d "{\":{\"name\":\"Test 2\"}" \ https://xxx.firebaseio.com/apps/3ba7792jae16328.json

Firebase always overwrites (unless you use PATCH) the entire node at the URL you indicate. So it's important that you specify the URL up to the level that you want to overwrite data.
