    Icons are located in /usr/share/icons

  2. More specifically, the default icons that the file browser is using (currently up to version 15.04) are placed in folder:

    /usr/share/icons/Humanity/places/48

    The icon for the download folder is folder-download.svg.

  3. "Icons are located in /usr/share/icons"

    This answer is only partially correct. If one does a locate *.png on the command line, many locations for icons will be found. For example, /usr/share/unity/icons,

    /usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.0/assets/switch-button-off.png

    So a more generalized answer would be... in various directories under /usr/share

    I don't know what a "downloads bookmark" is, so I can't address your specific issue any further.

  4. The default icons are placed in 

    /usr/share/icons/hicolor

    256x256 icons for example

    /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps

    Anyway you can also replace this icons by pasting the wanted icon at the current theme folder
