Thsi is not a property of bash but is an option to ls.
if you alias ls -G to ls in .bashrc then you'll get colours assuming your 
terminal admits to being prepared to display them. If your using xterm the 
normal termcap entry doesn't admit to colour so they won't appera unless you 
set the TERM environment variable to xterm-color.

I don't know anything about jed -- answer may be in the jed iniitialization 
but more likely in the way xterm delivers these key combinations to it.
This can probably be adjusted in the xterm resource (or .Xdefaults)

Again seems to be key translations and the code you expect from the backspace 
key -- see also xmodmap(1)

Does jed read the key definitions from termcap?

By default these actions are linked to the wheel in a wheel mouse. But you can 
reset these by connecting the xterm actions scroll-foward and scroll-reverse 
to your chosen key combinations in the xterm resource or .Xdefaults
