Can't help you with #1; if you won't arrange your repository this way
and check out the entire trunk, then you cannot do what you're asking
for.
To #2, there's no reason you can't check out the entire trunk, then
switch, say, module-B to a particular branch. That's what "svn
switch" is for.

I thought I heard that this feature existed before Subversion 1.0 but
that it was removed for some reason. But I cannot find the email in
which I thought I was told that; all I can find is emails like this,
which just show that it doesn't work.

I don't think there are any scalabitily issues that you need to worry
about. Subversion stores revisions, not files, so as soon as you're
committing more than one file at a time, sounds like Subversion is
going to be having fewer things to store than CVS. Big projects like
Apache are already using Subversion so it must work ok even for large
projects.
