On 1, you are right,
заградслужба - заградительная служба
Struggling with a correct translation, but if this was in peace times then: troops called in to block roadways/railways during special operations, this kind of thing.
In war time, known as заградительные отряды, also had a function to prevent front line units from retreat. A bit more sinister.
Sorry for lousy explanation.
