Yes.

Not that you should be adding anything to segments, but a nice trick is to 
hold shift+middle button in JOSM, which will bring up a list of objects near 
the cursor. Switch to CTRL and you can select a particular object, then let 
go and it's selected.

And no, splitting ways is an oft-requested but not-yet-implemented feature.

Regards,
Tom
