When a Digimon with this card in its digivolution cards performs a security check, if the checked card is a Digimon card or a Tamer card, does that card's ＜Security＞ effect activate?

Yes. All ＜Security＞ effects on non-Option cards activate normally.

When I use this card's ＜Main Timing＞ effect to digivolve [Takuya Kanbara] as a level 4 red Digimon, can I digivolve by paying a cost of 4 using the standard digivolution requirements?

No, you can't. If digivolution is performed using the ＜Main Timing＞ effect, you must digivolve for a digivolution cost of 3.
