This sounds like it would be a fascinating project to work on.  Yes,
you can have a separate FMP file for your Kiosk.  That's how I would
do it.  Keeping the inventory and POS systems separated but linked
would be more reliable.  And backing up (and testing retore of)
everything regularly is a must.

Good luck.
