Perhaps you don't need to use a cursor if you are allocating storage for all
the result set rather than processing small batches of rows.

I don't understand what you are asking here. I am not sure others will either.
Could you post an example in C so we can see what it is you mean?

You can use views to achieve some of this. I think the following would work.

CREATE TABLE mytable ( a integer );
CREATE VIEW myview AS SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE a = 24;
GRANT SELECT ON myview TO otheruser;

There is no pg_ table for this. You could process the file and store the data
in a table but it would only be useful for reporting the contents of the table
and not necessarily reflect the file contents.
