Is there a way to get the list of packages that depend on a package (dependent packages) then doing grep through the /var/db/pkgs like that?

        cd /var/db/pkg
        find . -name DEPEND | xargs grep avifile

Unfortunately this only lists locally installed packages.

The reverse operation for finding a list of dependent packages for a package is provided with 'emerge --emptytree -p mozilla'. Is there something like that for the first question?
