Please see shutdown(8), init(8), and halt(8). Programs get SIGTERM (and then SIGKILL) before the disks are unmounted. This would be disastrous otherwise, as processes could still have files open. For your SIGUSR1 question, the answer is yes, but you should read init(8) for more details. It's a well-written manpage.
