Is there a way to make inkscape treat page borders as boundaries for filling? What about selection boxes?

There isn't an option to use the page as a boundry, but you can obviously create a transparent rectangle with a black border to do the same job. Also, the concept of a selection box doesn't apply to Inkscape--did you mean something else?

I meant the border that appears when you select something.

you can set the background color to whatever you wish and this will respect the page boundary.

In that case, no. The paint bucket identifies the area to colour based on colours in your drawing--it is colour differences that define an area to fill. It knows nothing about your objects or what you have selected.
