Q&A

'Update...' brings your working copy back to the specified revision. Trying to commit changes to such updated files will result in conflicts! It's for looking back, not for working from there.

'Revert...' will - well - revert changes done in the selected revision - even if it is long past. This may result in conflict. But if one performs 'revert...' step by step for each revision back to the revision one acutally wants, you can do so. It does something like
svn merge -rN:N-1 filename
for the selected revision N.

Use 'merge' to rollback over several revisions. [1], [2], [3]

You can't. SVN allows versioning on a per-directory basis only.
But you can version only one file (or only few) in a versioned directory (instead of versioning all the files in that dir):

1. Set up a repository (create dir, then choose 'create repos here')
2. go to the dir that holds the file you want to version
3. right-click that dir and select 'checkout'
   1. choose your (empty) repository
   2. confirm checkout
4. now that dir is versioned but no files from that dir actually are.
5. add the file you want to version to the repos.
6. finished
