Simple answer: Yes.

More complicated: There are ways around this limitation using a servlet
to handle those requests and serve up the content.  The URL for the
resources would have to be something other than WEB-INF/resource. 
Download the tomcat source and take a look at the DefaultServlet class
as a beginning.

See above.  Keep in mind the resources are requested in separate
requests from the pages that they are used on, so you'll have to inspect
headers and/or cookies to determine who can have them and who can't.
