2. This would leave me to believe that controlling the number of outgoing links leaving a page would help me control the pagerank.
It seems like if I had a site that sold widgets and most links were pointing at my home page I could nofollow the about us page and push more link juice to my red widget page. I could get a couple external links going to my about us page, building up its pagerank juice and point those links back to my home page and red widget page.
By nofollowing any external links I am keeping all my pagerank for myself. By nofollowing internal links I am controlling the flow of my pagerank. I am not taking my page out of Google because I can get external links pointing back at it.
If I have a picture, a button, and a text link all pointing at my about me page and I nofollow two of them I am now allowing more link juice to flow to my other pages.
Just my two cents.

You don't lose any of your intrinsic
PR via outgoing links; such are merely "votes" for others.
And, you don't get to keep and count the
PR that you have to pass to others; i.e., you don't get to vote for yourself.
By way of analogy, when someone delegates authority to another, that person does not lose any authority; and, he cannot use his own authority to increase the authority vested in him by others.
