Not really: a buffer may or may not be associated with a file, so its
buffer-locals cannot possibly be file-locals. Ditto for a buffer that
*is* associated with a file, but which then is given a bunch of
buffer-locals (e.g. associated with a minor mode for that file).

OTOH, file-locals are read from the file when the file is opened and
they *do* become buffer-local at that point.

And yes, file-locals could be used to satisfy the OP's first request.

AFAIK, there is no way to satisfy the second request (i.e. for only
parts of the file).  org-time-stamp-custom-formats is for visual display
only: the underlying timestamp is standard ISO and the custom one is
overlaid iff org-display-custom-times is set (but if I read the
docstring correctly, the custom format is honored during export in this
case, so it is a bit more than visual display). However, there is no way
to have that variable set one way for part of the file and another way
for a different part.
