"Are you sure 2a) isn't you can't record me and use the recording in court without my knowledge beforehand(as in sworn depositions on tape?)"

I believe it would depend on the judge, whether such tape would be admissable in court or not. It would also depend on whether the recorded party could testify to validate the tape.
