Most likely a fault has developed with the Logic Board / GPU Memory. 🙁
Hope that your MacBook is still covered by warranty - otherwise it could cost a bit to repair.

Disk Utility can do a secure wipe of the disk. Use Disk Utility located on the system DVD.
Go to your friendly neighborhood Apple Store to get them to fix it. You can run the Apple Hardware Test yourself to check. It's on the system DVD.
DBAN is good at wiping drives on computers. Go here to get it:

Contact a local Apple store or a Apple authorized retailer and they'll take you through the warranty process.
There's a few ways to backup data. I can't tell from you description if you can currently access the system, but some backup software is Time Machine and Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC). If you're having issues when logged in then using your Mac in Targeted Disk Mode would be the best option probably.
