I hope this will help.
1) It apears there is a way to pull packages out of the world set. :)
>From 'man emerge', section "FILES":
=============
/var/lib/portage/world
Contains a list of all user-specified packages. You can safely
edit
this file, adding packages that you want to be considered in world
set updates and removing those that you do not want to be
considered.
=============
2) I'm not sure what happens when using
"emerge --oneshot already-isntalled/package-higher-version"
but it is easy to check this out by looking in /var/lib/portage/world before and
after emerge finishes it's job.
