Use VCL to force a cache miss if the client sets Cache-Control: no-cache
See https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExampleEnableForceRefresh

varnish doesn't authenticate users (except for the ACL lists of IP
adresses). You could program a vmod and query it from within VCL.
Authentication should be handled by the backend, IMHO.

It doesn't. Use an SSL proxy in front of varnish. nginx or pound come to
mind.
