Hi, This mailing list is for alpha/beta testing of WordPress. You may have better luck on the support forums at http://wordpress.org/support, or potentially the wp-hackers list, which has gravitated to these kinds of topics though that isn't the right venue either.
To briefly answer your first question, custom taxonomies have fine-grained capability controls I would look into. For example authors cannot add categories, they can only assign them. For your second question, I have seen a plugin many versions ago that converted the checkboxes of the category meta box to radio buttons (via JS, I think), then also make sure that only one category is saved on the backend.
