Yes, you can control on a per-user per-module basis. In the Webmin Users
module you can click on a user and then on a module name (to bring up
the detailed access control page), and at the top there will be a setting
to determine if the Module Config page is available or not.

Yes - you can create a config_info.pl file in your module, which defines functions
to show and validate a config field define in config.info. See the standard "mysql"
module for an example.
