1. Are these "filepos" placemarks only referenced in the ebook's Table Of Contents and/or Index (or other places as well)?
2. Suppose I created a "filepos=chapter", same id in every chapter, and in the Table of Contents referenced them as:
chapt01.xhtml#chapter
chapt02.xhtml#chapter
.....
Would that work? In other words, they don't have to be globally unique within the book?
Thanks!
Correct. The id attributes that url fragments point to need only be unique to the html file they occur in, and not the entire book.

The two references you included ARE globally unique to the book (even though the fragments are identical).
