I can answer a few questions...

TDP for Exchange does not do individual mailbox or brick level
backup and restore.

TDP for Notes (supported only on R4) backed up at the item level.
But, since it only works with R4, it will being going away soon.

TDP for Domino (supported on R5) backs up at the database level
and since each user has their own database in Domino, then
the answer would be yes, you can restore each user's mailbox individually.
TDP for Domino supports archival transaction logging in
Domino R5 and will back up the transaction logs.

Your last question does not specify what database system you
are referring to.  If you are referring to Microsoft SQL Server,
then the answer is yes.  With TDP for SQL version 2.2, you can
back up transaction logs and filegroups.
