These two questions cannot be answered by ffmpeg, by
any executable, I suspect security considerations are
among the reasons why this is impossible.

Iirc, ldd does not work on osx, "otool -L ffmpeg" will tell you.

Version information (that may not be available for all
external libs but certainly for some) is a missing feature.
