Looking at the write ups whose links are given directly on the project 
page I have determined that the answer is yes.  There is a domain users 
sub-module that allows you to assign the user to a domain.  But I've 
never used this module, I have only heard about it.

So these shouldn't be necessary.

My guess, is that the domain user module would allow you to assign a 
role for a user that would allow for the domain admin.  I really need to 
take another look at this module, it could save me some cycle time.

If you have a profile entry for the user that contains the school, yes.  
I think you said that you did that already.  The Advanced User (advuser) 
module will allow you to select users for the profile field.  You might 
want to look at the Advanced Profile module as well.
