Also, what would provide isolation for the two adjacent pickups so each tone control would only be affected by its own pickup? Would the tones be wired like volume pots (as voltage dividers) with the cap on the grounding lug to provide isolation?

Its the series wiring itself that allows the tones to only affect their own pickups even when both are on.
