1. Yes, the image background is reserved for the home page type. But if you need to, you can apply the home page type to your inner pages to get the background image feature.
2. Unfortunately, that is to the extent of how concrete5 handles background images on areas. The best way to work around this is to apply your own css on the custom css settings on the design customisation panel.
