Neither of those should be true unless your kernel is broken.
You can PTRACE_ATTACH to a tid - use gettid not getpid of course - and
you can send SIGSTOP to one thread with tkill.
The latter will definitely deliver SIGSTOP to the selected thread.
But it may still stop the whole process, I'm not actually sure.
