Yes, using the BND parameter in gpmap. For example:

BND      = bg/4+WORLD_BNDS/23

Not at this time. The filling is based on the $GEMTBL/bnds files.
You would have to create a separate bounds file of just the map region
you wanted.

Another option is to use the pgen tools on NMAP/NMAP2 to color in an area
but that would probably be time intensive.
