About securing different parts of the repo, the mercurial server actually doesn't have any user authentication! You are meant to do that yourself with SSH or a web server, where you should be able to have more restrict access to some special folders.
About using a single repo, it does make sense to have all code that interact with each other at the same place. Imagine changing a variable name in some API and at the same time update all usage of that name in the whole codebase. And imagine the bureaucracy and people management for just making a variable change if there where separate repos witch you might not even have access to.
