Morning Frank.

: 1. It appears that there is no admin hierarchy. IOW, there is no
: order of admin privileges, right? If one has the admin password,
: one has access to all admin functions, right?

Yes, as long as the built-in login feature is used.
If login is controlled by .htaccess then one can install a hierarchy. On the forum you're talking about this is not the case though, as far as I remember
If you see the built-in login screen, then no hierarchy is available.

: My hope was that I could offer limited rights to a volunteer until
: it was determined that she is suited to the task. Is this
: possible without resorting to changing anything in the scripts?

A bit is possilbe. Read:
http://tetrabb.com/documentation/WebBBS/BasicConfigs.pl?page=1;md=read;id=191

Add

$ModeratorRun=1

to section (3) of the admin entry script.

: 2. What actually happens if I click the "Lock forums"
: link? Will this completely bar the public from seeing/reading
: posts or just from posting?

lock all public access.
Check it out and see yourself. You can unlock the same way. Shouldn't do harm except locking for the time until you unlock again.
