Does protection from a type of mana protect a creatures from sorceries and instants or just creatures?
All of the above. It prevents both targeting and damage
Edit: almost forgot. Cards that say "destroy" don't destroy it
Damage is prevented
Cannot be Enchanted
Cannot be Blocked
Cannot be Targeted
It can still be destroyed. {Supreme Verdict} would still destroy some thing with protection from white or blue.

Correct, because verdict doesn't "target" the creature with protection from white and blue.
