What ports are forwarded by default?
Most of the popular services have a default port associated with it, e.g., port 80 for HTTP, port 443 for https, port 25 for SMTP, port 20 for FTP, etc. Port forwarding is the process of redirecting the communication addressed to one IP address/port combination to another address/port combination.
Does port forwarding happen automatically?
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). If the router and the device on your local network both support UPnP, the required router configuration will happen automatically.

The client listens on a random port above 1024 for the server responses. So having port 80 forwarded to the raspberry, will not affect other PCs in the network when using the network regulary. Of course you can only forward the port to one PC in your home network, so you can only run one raspberry-server at a time.

Forwarding port 80 is no more insecure than any other port. In fact, port forwarding itself is not inherently insecure. The security concern is that it allows services that are normally protected behind some kind of firewall to be accessible publicly.
