EFE means the external factor evaluation matrix, it lists a series of company's external opportunities and threats, and evaluate these factors' importance from a scale of 0-1 so that they will finally add up to one. Rate how well the company is handling these factors from 1-4, then you get a score. If it's below 2.5 you are doing bad, if it's beyond 2.5 then you know your company is doing okay.
Authority is usually never assigned to the Project Manager, it is either earned (grabbed) by the Project Manager or it is based on the type of organization (functional, projectized, matrix). Functional: The Project Manager has no or little authority over the resources. Projectized: The Project Manager has almost absolute authority. Matrix: A balance between functional and projectized.
An advantage to the matrix structure lies in the efficient use of resources because of ease of access. This structure also demonstrates efficient communication both vertically and horizontally. Because of this, once the projects have ended, the team members are likely to receive a job elsewhere in the organization. A disadvantage of the matrix structure is complexity, which can be difficult to manage. For example, if the functional manager and the project manager do not communicate well, the team members can be caught in the middle, causing confusion.

It Depends. In a Strong Matrix, the PM may have significant authority to assign people to projects but still he would have to confirm with the Functional Manager.
