yes, you just create multiple isovalue representations and
assign a different color to each of them (via ColorID colorization).

i don't think so. the colors on the 'outside' would tint
whatever is 'inside'. what you may want to look into would
be a volume slice with Volume colorization, perhaps in
combination with multiple isosurfaces and a clipplane.
