It is not exactly answering either of your two questions, but here is another work-around. I had problems putting papers on the arxiv which used pgf/tikz because the version of pgf/tikz they used at the arxiv was not as up to date as my version. The admin at the arxiv told me to do the following. LaTeX your file with the option -recorder. This will create a .fls file containing a list of all of the FiLeS used by LaTeX when typesetting your document. Choose all of the files in the list containing "pgf" or "tikz" and move them into the directory containing your document. You can then send that directory to your collaborator/the arxiv/the journal without worrying about how up to date their set up is.
[Unfortunately, I then had the problem that the tikz graphics I produced required an enormous amount of working memory which was greater than the allocation on the arxiv server, so I resorted to using 'grab' on my mac to take a high resolution snap-shot of the graphic, which I then incorporated into the LaTeX file :-(. However, I have used this including-all-the-files technique for subsequent uploads to the arxiv.]
