Not as far as I know. I think only one legal entity can have copyright, but I'm not a lawyer.
Is it possible to assign copyright to another entity but still retain it for yourself?
See above.
Does *joint copyright* mean that both parties have to be consulted before any action can be taken or does it mean both can act independent of each other, probably under some sort of agreement - like territories or use?
You can retain copyright but grant a license to someone that allows them to sub-license it to others. I think copyright is a red herring and you should remain focussed on licensing.
