Hi knubee,

As long as your file is in org-mode that should work fine.  You can run
an agenda just on the current file in multiple ways:

C-c a 1 m 
  will run the tags match command on the current file only

If you want to use multiple agenda commands you can enable the agenda
restriction lock as follows

  - on the first line of an org-mode file (before the first heading) do
    C-c C-x <
    You do this on a #+STARTUP: line or on a blank line before the first
    heading

All subsequent agenda commands will only consider this one file until
you remove the restriction lock with C-c C-x >

HTH,
Bernt
