I have given a look to the Xorg.0.log in both cases, with the old and
new version of the driver.
For direct rendering I can say yes, in both the log's with the two
version of the driver I get the  line

(II) fglrx(0): Direct rendering enabled

For fglrx_drv.o, libGL.so.1 and fglrx_dri.so I see  no differences  in
the log in the messages related to them, and I have installed fglrx
from the debian package I have built, so I think they are all from the
same version of fglrx.
I have some difficulties to answer to your second question since I
don't know how to check if the server picks up  the libGL from fglrx.
The only message I see about libGL is

(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_clip.o":
 No symbols found
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_norm.o":
 No symbols found
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:m_debug_xform.o":
 No symbols found

in both log's.
The main difference that I see in the log's is that in the case of the
new driver, since I have commented out the line in xorg.conf that
loads int10, I obviously don't have any section in the log about
int10, and instead I have this additional section that I don't have
with the old driver:

with the old driver I have instead at its place:
