Look into database 'mysql'. It contains privilege tables. Description
of tables you can find here:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Privileges.html
Privileges for user could be granted on different levels: global,
database, table, column.
You can set up privileges using GRANT statement:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/GRANT.html

Yes. If you want to use more than one table you can do it like
SELECT * FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.id=table2.id
