Am I correct in saying that one definition of bidah is: Any act of worship that is restricted when there is no proof in Quran or Sunnah for that restriction or specification. Eg if a person raises their hands for dua after salah occasionally, this is fine but to believe it has to be done after each salah or it is better if it is done after salah is bidah.

This is partly correct. It is any act which a person wants to get closer to Allah with and the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa salla. Didn’t do it nor instructed us to do it.

I was wondering what the alternative choice is if my parents are forcing me to celebrate the persian new year and I am only 17. What should I do if they don’t listen to me and if they don’t believe it’s haram to celebrate it?

Try to come up with something to do on the day they celebrate that, so you do not have to participate. You should also explain to them that this is unislamic and not permitted. In a nutshell, don’t celebrate it with them!

In recent incidents in Pakistan, I have seen people wearing black or white cloths, lightening candle and they consider it mourning. I happen to tell one of people involved in this to stop instead they shunned me off by saying I am a taliban apologist. Is this not imitating the kuffar?

To stay in dhikrullah all day I say “la ilaha illAllah” every time I sit down. I read one of the salaf said “qul huwAllahu ahad” every time he sat down and achieved a great status by doing so. But I don’t know the authenticity of that narration. Is what I’m doing considered a bid`ah? Is there any danger of it becoming a bid`ah?

Our local masjid imam says he has some water from the well in which Prophet (Salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) put his saliva into when it was dry and then all the companions drank from that well. Does this well exists and is it in an authentic narration?

This is a fabrication that one must not believe and even if such a well exists, the water in it has no significance and it is prohibited to believe otherwise.
