Answer 1

I've used this exact method for auditing at one client site and they've been using it heavily for close to 6 months now with no problems.

The context information is scoped to the current connection for the current batch and any batches that start after the current batch has completed. Two users in your environment would either not be on the same connection, or if there is connection sharing they would still have their own values if they overlapped at all. If one came after the other then the second one would overwrite the first, but it would have been done with it by then anyway. At least this is my understanding of how it works. You can look up MARS (Multiple Active Result Sets) for more information on it.
