Regarding the umask command:

1. Can it be used to change the behaviour of just one folder (so that
all files inherit the permissions of the folder)?

No. The umask is an aspect of a user's environment, and affects the
creation of new files by that user.

2. Why is it not in the man pages (at least on a regular OS X client
install)?

Because it is not a stand-alone command, it is a shell builtin. Check
the man page of the shell you are using. eg, from 'man bash':
