1) Will other programs be able to handle these data, then? IOW: Are such 
info in the photo files fairly standard? 

Yes - Shotwell writes metadata in EXIF, IPTC and XMP format which are standard 
and understood by many other photo applications.



2) What happens (in shotwell) when there's a clash between the info in 
the file and shotwells db, for instance when tags were obfuscated in 
shotwell, but written correctly to the file?

In this situation Shotwell will merge the tags and write the result both to the 
file and to its database.
