Please note that it is especially important to change your passwords on the Wikimania wikis where you have accounts. These are non-SUL wikis and changing your SUL password will not effect a change on the Wikimania 2013 and 2014 wikis. Even if you never intend to edit those wikis again, your password and account could still hypothetically be compromised.
Actually, changing your SUL password should change your password on all your attached Wikimedia wikis accounts. This includes all public wikis, but does not include private or fishbowl ones. So, for example, if you also used the same password on wikimaniateamwiki or foundationwiki, you will need to change it separately there.

But normally notices of compromised passwords include standard language suggesting that users change their passwords for any other login where they've used similar information, in case the combination of name and password is sold or someone attempts to use their knowledge of you to access your information on other sites. Perhaps that is part of the e-mail notification the WMF sent; if not, it's good practice.
This too. If you used the same password combination elsewhere (you shouldn't, but people often do), then you should change those too.
