Answer 1

Basic auth over SSL is common for REST APIs, and the plugin docs show how to configure Basic auth for part of the app, and standard form-based auth for user-accessible parts of the app. There's also a new plugin for REST + Spring Security - see http://grails.org/plugin/spring-security-rest and click through the "Documentation" button to see the docs.
