No.

Yes. Assuming you mean the correct thing for "the focus of the event".

When a event is dispatched to sublocations, it doesn't change, it's still 
the same event. It's just redispatched.

The doc in Five/doc/event.txt says this:

The ``event`` won't change though, and ``event.object`` will still be the 
original object for which the event was initially sent (this corresponds to 
``self`` and ``item`` in the ``manage_afterAdd`` method -- ``self`` is 
``ob``, and ``item`` is ``event.object``).
