1) Is there one coherent Star Wars universe everyone adheres to (without any
contradictions or speculation in all movies and books)?

Not really.  There are varying levels, usually... the movies, followed
by early West End Game source material, followed by Zahn books,
followed by almost everything else, followed by Kevin Anderson books
and the comics.  At least, that's my list.  8^)

2) If not, which establishes the 'real' undisputable canon: the movies, the
original books, everything authorised by Lucasfilm, everything which wears
the official Star Wars logo? Anything goes as long as it fits within what
the community regards undisputable?

I think the movies are the only canon.

3) If not, on which realm of reference do trivia quizes like this rely on?
Would any resources go? Can all the questions be answered by watching the
movies alone?

The quiz posted can't be answered just from the movies alone.  At
least one question comes from a source I would use as toilet paper, a
few more from the Zahn books, and about one I see from the movie.
