It's possible but hard to have boards viewable by certain people. I'd have to create a membergroup and add each person individually which takes a bit of time. If it's a handful of people it's not a problem (though their profile will show that they are part of this group). If it's a ton it's not really possible.
For the second question, I don't understand?
Well, I've done it myself for my forums, in the manner you described, and it only took a a minute or two. Granted, with the software I use, the head of a membergroup has the power to add members.
It would make things far easier for my game if Team 1 and Team 2 had forums only they could view - otherwise, we have to do everything through PMs, which is very awkward (just look at the size of the Game A and B preparation threads).

You should give a member you can trust Admin status to deal with these things, so you don't have to do it yourself.
