1) Yes, GWT apps have access to URL request parameters. Look at Window.Location.getParameter().
2) You probably need to make a conceptual shift. Think of GWT apps just like any other fat client application - some code (and optionally some data) gets downloaded to the user when the page is loaded, then the app is "on its own" to authenticate against the backend and get data from it. Of course, since it's all HTTP, you can just use cookies to maintain session state like you're probably already doing.
