Does an incomplete pass in the end zone result in a safety Did it ever?
It depends. If the quarterback passes it out of the end zone, and it gets batted by the other team, and then the ball gets caught by the team that threw it in the end zone, then it would be a call for illegal touching or intentional grounding and be called a safety. I hope this answer isn't confusing, but I don't know how else to say it. It did happen in the Virginia Tech and Stanford Orange Bowl game.
If a kickoff is fumbled into the end zone can it be downed?
If the player does not step outside of the end zone before stepping out, then it is ruled a touch-back and the ball is placed at the 20 yard line. However if he steps out of the end zone then steps out inside the end zone it is ruled a safety and the other team gets 2 points and the team that stepped out in the end zone then gets a free punt.

If a Quarterback is sacked in his end zone does the other team receive possession of the ball and 2 points?
The other team would only get the ball under certain conditions. If the quarterback was sacked on the 4th down, then the opposing team would get the ball. That is not due to the sacking, however, it is due to the fact that you only get 4 downs to gain 10 yards before a turnover. If a quarterback is tackled and fumbles the ball, the other team can get the ball, but the quarterback will not be considered sacked.

What if a quarter back has an incomplete pass in their own en zone is it a safety?
No ... an incomplete forward pass in the end zone does not result in a safety. However, if a quarterback is in the end zone and is called for an intentional grounding penalty, the result is a safety. Also, if the offensive team is called for a holding penalty in their end zone the result is a safety regardless of whether the quarterback was in the end zone at the time of the penalty.
