I live in a dorm room with a pretty nice speaker system... I have a 10 gallon tank with a betta fish. I made sure no speakers are near the tank, and the sub is on the other side of the room, but would this bother a betta fish very much?
 
I'm pretty sure the vibration will stress the fish and I would not recommend it if you are worried about the fish living. If you insist I would at least pay very close attention to it everyday for a while to look for signs of stress, ick etc and treat it right away if present while also stopping the source of the stress.
 
Yes it will, bass travels farther and through things far better than treble sound vibrations.
I'd turn the bass down, even on a low volume the bass is going to travel to the betta's home. Water is an excellent sound conductor, as is glass.
Most places like pet stores and aquariums, even sea world has signs posted that ask you to please not tap on the glass. The vibrations can be stressful and scary for them.
Best of Luck!
