Yes and yes!

(Hey I like these concise questions!)

About fine grain control, such as applet X can read file Y:

The infrastructure for controlling this in a fine-grained way will be
there in the next JDK release. That infrastructure isn't there in the
current shipping JDK.

About where signatures are deployed:

Right now, HotJava is the only Java-enabled web browser that
understands Java digital signatures. People often ask when/if
Navigator or Explorer will support Java signatures: please contact
those companies for information about their product schedules.
