There isn't a built-in mechanism.  With some effort, you can (quoting 
the Help for TOpenDialog::OnCanClose),"Write an OnCanClose event 
handler to provide custom validation of the value of FileName.".  Off 
the top of my head, I might guess that you could check whether there's 
a drive letter and colon in the path, or something like that.  You 
have started to study that, but I don't know the real answer to 
question 2.

You can find examples of overriding TOpenDialog events here:

A more sophisticated (but very ,very code-intensive) example would be 
to review the filenames presented by the OS before they are displayed, 
and discarding those you don't want used.  This is exponentially more 
work:
