There are also the new functions (I am not sure when they were introduced):
line_substring(geom,float,float)
locate_between_measures(geom,float,float)
that would fit the bill for your first question.

To split into individual points, you would probably want to use a bit
of PL/PGSQL and some loops along with the aforementioned functions.
