Can you see in the Play store before installing an app exactly which other apps it's allowed to talk to? Can you see it on your phone and override?

No, not in any straightforward way, although you can theoretically:

1. download the APK from a mirror site

2. disassemble it to get the android manifest

3. inspect the android manifest to check for the things the blog post discusses

Everyone knows all the apps on your phone
