Yes, subfolders have been enabled since the second TC Chair training, when
someone requested it.  On the Add New Folder form, scroll down to the
"Advanced Options" and select a "Parent Folder" if desired.

Currently "sharing" settings are on a per-object basis.  So you would simply
un-check all sharing options on a given document -- this keeps it "private"
and visible to that TC only.

Documents within the repository are only accessible from a specific URL
assigned to each (as Karl noted in another answer, this does vary per
version of the document).  Because permissions on documents vary on a
per-object basis, you can't reference items within HTML using a simple "my
sibling" reference, eg <img src="top_of_page.gif">; the web server will not
serve up documents within repositories without checking authentication for
each object.  However, you *can* reference objects within HTML using a full
path.  In the case you mention, your image tag would be: <img
src="http://kavi.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/uddi-spec/download.php/88
/top_of_page.gif">
