Yes.  Lets say you had a 1GB Shuffle and 10GB of music.  You couldn't
store all your music in the iPod repository in gtkPod as it won't fit.  So
you can add your music to the local repository and setup your playlists
there, then drag over the ones you want to listen to on your shuffle.

Yes, they are tagged so that your iPod knows they are podcasts and
remembers where you've listened up to if stop, change tracks or resync
your ipod half way though listening to a podcast.
