Jukka,
I forward you mail to the GDAL's mailing list gdal-dev at remotesensing.org
and more appropriate Geospatial JPEG2000 mailing list
jpeg2000 at remotesensing.org

Yes. GDAL creates a 1x1 pixel valid GeoTIFF in memory and write it to the
jp2 uuid box.

In this case you have to create the uuid box geotiff from the world file.
GDAL do that if the world file has the same prefix and .wld.

Yes sure. A GDAL utility gdalwarp do subsample and reprojection and change
the georeferencing as well.

I think Frank Warmerdam from GDAL is the good person to answer to this.
