Yes and yes. Set the view permissions of files and folders to guest
users to false and only to true for users that should access these files
and folder. But do not forget to create new groups for these folders.
Just start playing araound. I think theoratically they are allowed to
lock the files, but in fact they won't see the files anyway.

A problem persists anyway, they can lock the folders leading to their
files, but they musn't publish them.
So I didn't find a really, really, really working solution.
