Well I've discovered the answer to the 'Volume One' thing. It's less of an allusion to a second series, and more just a money-making scam if you ask me.
Having sent an E-mail to Titan Publishers as meantioned in the press release, I recieved the following E-Mail:
Hi! Thanks for signing up to receive more information about our forthcoming book, Firefly: The Official Companion. First, the breaking news - we’ve found so much excellent stuff that this will now be two volumes, not just one!
Things are going really well - we’ve conducted about 20 brand new interviews with the cast and crew so far. Joss Whedon was kind enough to speak to us at length while he was over in the UK recently. In fact, he was sitting in the very London hotel room where he originally had the idea for Firefly!
Be one of the first to see the final cover designs, by going now to: www.titanbooks.com/firefly!
Stay tuned for more hot news soon...

I don't see why this necessitates two volumes. I'd prefer one big expensive volume, as this would feel more... definitive to me.
There again, the fact they feel they have too much information may turn out to be a good thing, depending how much effort they actually put into both volumes.
Time will tell.

Well, the cover art for Volume Two is not bad:

That being said, I am not so certain that a second volume is necessarily a bad thing. Sure it is partly fueled by Titan's search for money, but the more money Firefly / Serenity brings in the better our shot at a future. The more shiny things about the show, cast, the 'verse, and Joss I learn the happier a browncoat I'll be.
