Answer 1

You are looking for an object permission implementation. A good comparison is here: http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/perms/

Shameless plug: Heres my fork of a very popular per-object permission app: http://github.com/azizmb/django-authority

Answer 2

If I am getting you correct, what you need to implement is called row level permissions in Django. Have a look at this if it helps. http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/RowLevelPermissionsDeveloper
