Yes, you need both.

An alternative like

      Wild =      "/usr/jails/*/etc*"

would be wrong because it would also match a file called
/usr/jails/foo/etcblah.

Yes (e.g. it is useful for mount-points).

The problem is that they match the first Options clause, so Bacula accepts
them immediately without looking at the second clause.  It should work with
three Options clauses:

    # exclude some things matched by the second Options clause
    Options {
      Wild = "*/defaults/*"
      Wild = "*/periodic/*"
      Wild = "*/rc.d/*"
      exclude = yes
    }
    # include a little more than what we want
    Options {
      RegexDir =  "^/usr/jails/[^/]+$"
      WildDir =   "/usr/jails/*/etc"
      Wild =      "/usr/jails/*/etc/*"
      WildDir =   "/usr/jails/*/usr"
      WildDir =   "/usr/jails/*/usr/local"
      WildDir =   "/usr/jails/*/usr/local/etc"
      Wild =      "/usr/jails/*/usr/local/etc/*"
    }
    # exclude everything else
    Options {
      RegexDir = ".*"
      Wild = "/usr/jails/*"
      exclude = yes
    }

Beware that the first Options clause is slightly underspecified, e.g. it will
exclude a jail called "periodic" (/usr/jails/periodic).  Adding "etc" to the
patterns would help.
