Whenever I first click on a Facebook app it puts up a screen asking for permissions. Does the API enforce this, or is it possible to display a screen using either fake or the user’s publicly accessible data?

You do not have to ask for any permissions right away. Your app can have the equivalent of a “guest” mode, similar to how many websites work until the user has logged in. I’m not sure why more apps don’t operate like that, as a user I’m always a bit put off when something asks for permission before I’ve even seen the first page of it.
