Is there any way to say any new object created in this directory should
have the same owner as the owner of the directory?

On stock Linux, there is the setuid bit for the user. Just tried on 7.3, doesn't work as I know it. Maybe some CL-env-special-flag is needed beyond chmod?

Is there any way to say any new object created in this directory should
have the same authorization list as the directory itself?

No. But for that, stock Linux knows the umask command, which is also valid for a 7.3 shell.

Maybe this gives you some additional clues to reach your goal.
