Not directly.

Yes. You have to tell bacula what storage to use. From that bacula
picks a drive (if you have a multi drive autochanger) and it will use
this drive for the duration of the backup. In my opinion it is
probably best to have different libraries in different pools so that
bacula does not BLOCK (and wait for user intervention) because it
recycled a tape from one library but wants to use it in the other.
