No, this is not possible with the current state of the user module [not my
fault :)].  If you give a user permission to edit the permissions of other
users, they will be able to edit the permissions on all modules.

I would suggest not using a phpws user as an agent and just associate an
agent with a phpws user account.  This way you can accomplish the
permissioning goals you have set down and if the admin of the website
wants to allow public users to have accounts on the site for various
reasons (personal house listings, remembered settings, etc) you don't want
them to have "agent status" in the phpwslistings system.  I can say more
here but I will refrain for now to hear your thoughts on what I've written
so far.

As far as the shopping cart goes, it should be a separate module from
phpwslistings that is flexible enough to allow it to hold any type of
object (house, car, shirt, soda, etc).  Basically each "object" would need
a few required attributes and functions to integrate with the cart
correctly, a name or label, a weight (to calculate shipping), a "small
view" function and a "full view" function, and a price.  I'm probably
missing a few things there obviously but you get the idea.

Just my 2 cents
