Yes and no,
If the site uses a secure connection (look for https in the URL) and is a trustworthy company then you will be pretty safe giving your National Insurance number.
It would be unfair to say you are totally safe because ultimately anything that goes over the internet is at some risk. But then again probably about as much risk as someone stealing your written application from the mail so that they could forge your identity.
If however the site does not use a secure connection or you just feel uncomfortable or dont trust the company...dont give them your details!

What is a national insurance number? Is that like slang for a social security number? Because you need that to be employed in the united states

It can only be assumed safe if those requesting it abide by the rules of the data protection act, and verify that their web-site or application is secure, normally with a closed lock symbol on the bottom right of the screen.

No, you legally do not have to provide your social security number untill a job offer is given to you. After you are given an offer, you may be asked for it.

There is no reason to provide this on a application form. It is only relevant when they come to employ you. I would not provide it at this stage

I would be very wary of doing that unless you were sure it was a legitimate web site.

They have no need for your NS number until they employ you.
