The filereadable() function may be useful to determine if there is a
file of a given name on your disk, if you make sure that the "per-
file .vimrc" is named in a very predictable way so that you can build
the name from the name of the file you're editing. The :source command
will run it for you (along with :execute so that you can use a
variable name in the :source command).

Yes, you should start new threads for new questions or you stand the
chance of it being missed.
For this particular question, see :help :map-local. If that doesn't
solve it, start a new thread, don't reply here on this new topic.
