Your understanding is correct - on both fronts.

I recommend, if you haven't already, running your project through Quartus and using the Pin Planner to try anything you're questioning. If you inadvertently put a 3.3V output into a bank powered at 2.5V, Quartus will reject it. However, it'll happily accept a 3.3V input into the same bank. Once through Quartus you can examine the .fit.rpt report file. The 'All Package Pins' table will tell you how Quartus is expecting every pin to be connected.

Cheers,
