Would Fire immunity negate the damage? A player believes "and the like" includes fire immunity. I think the fire just has the quality of silver added

This sounds like a second edition question: I've flagged it to be moved.

If the attack deals fire damage immunity to fire would negate it. Attacks can and do have multiple descriptors. The fact this is considered both fire and silver does not mean it is not fire.

I think it's silver damage, not fire. The reason is simple: in the game, you can't specify that it's untyped; it has to be of one element. Although to be honest, this power is similar to the power of the priestess in Warcraft 3

No. Silver is not a damage type. The damage being silver doesn't make it stop being fire damage, the same as how a silver axe doesn't stop dealing slashing damage.

It's fire damage with the silver tag, just like you can deal slashing, bludgeoning or piercing damage with the silver tag.

Now where it gets interesting is that Devils are immune fire but weak to silver. Does Moonbeam hurts them?

(Foundry says no, but foundry also says haunts weak to vitality are immune because they're objects which is obviously dumb and untrue)

If this is indeed a question about Second Edition, it's in the right place, but there are two posts, and both posts have valuable feedback. Rather than removing one, I'm going to lock one so it can't become too redundant, but we keep the info for OP's reference.
