Answer 1

You are correct so far.

However, your requirements are a bit vague. Let's look at it in another way. If you want to send restricted information to special users, you should ask user to start a direct chat with your bot or simply use users chat_id in groupchat to start sending message to them.

Please note that you will have access to user chat_id only when the user communicates with the bot in "privacy mode" which is default mode for bots.
