1. Correct.

2. Correct again, largely - it's totally fine if you want to control characters other than your own, if you, for example, want to have a conversation with a civilian on the street, and each character will probably have a supporting cast that's basically 'theirs' - friends, family, personal villains, etc, such as Dragoness's roommate, her parents, Nelkarian, and so on. But yes, for the most part, I will be controlling other characters to ensure that the plot is moving and conflict occurs.
