I don't know if FFG inherits the owner's buffs. I can check in a bit though, I should have a few 50 Trapfenders on Test.
EDIT: Just checked: No. FFG does not inherit player buffs (or at least does not inherit PBU). I didn't check out how PBU plays out with Seekers, but I don't think they'd be any different as they are Pets instead of direct/pseudopet powers.

Would power buildup be of any use to a trapper at all? Maybe for web grenade's -rech?
As a 'rule of thumb' (but not really), if a pet shows up on your pet window then it won't inherit the owner's buff. Pseudopets (that don't show on the owner's window) such as sleet, freezing rain, tar patch and caltrops WILL inherit the owner's buffs
Since most of Traps' effects are 'pets' (that show up on your window), PBU won't be very useful

It wouldn't even do that as it doesn't boost -rech. It would make the immob last longer and would boost the movement slow portion. It would probably boost the -speed of caltrops along with their damage for the duration of pbu.|

IMO the app of choice for defender traps is Dark.
Oppressive gloom stacks nicely with seekers aoe stun.
Your usually up close anyway deploying traps so soul drain and dark consumption can both be used to full effect, the latter if for some reason you have end issues on your trapper.
You even get a self rez if you want it cause I've heard mature traps can die, though I've yet to see it on my own traps corr heh.
If I use PBU right before creating the FFG, will the generator give buffed defense for its entire lifetime? If this is true it seems like it'll be insanely easy to softcap positional defense on any traps defender.
