I'm guessing the lock would be placed at wherever the current file pointer is..
You could seek to any part of the file, and apply the lock.

In the case of question 2, I have no idea. Guessing, but even OS9 has blocking
and non-blocking locks. You can read a file that has an EOF lock on it (up to
the lock, of course), but you can't read a file that has a locksize of
0xffffffff applied, etc.
