Is it safe to manually download a package from this site and then install the .deb file using apt? Is there anything more secure about using apt to download the package?

No, OP is asking about debain.org, not a random site.
This is the official Debian bash package. It might be slightly less safe (I think apt verifies signatures that I’m not sure are checked when your manually download the deb), but not like a random exe
So a trustworthy site, exactly like I said.
