Knowing the model insert/stove you are asking about would be a really big help in answering those questions. Many manuals are available online but you need to know what you have- even a photo of the thing would help.
And to replace firebrick you need firebrick- regular bricks can't stand up to the heat.

Only thing I could find for that model is a clearance sheet.
Give them a call maybe they have more stuff not on the web.

The stoves I have seen the secondary air comes in someplace on the bottom of the stove and is channeled up to the baffle plate or tubes in a way such that it gets heated. The primary air often goes in someplace above the door and does not get a lot of preheat.
