What exactly does this mean?

1) Assume user+mailbox@domain style addresses are used. Should MDA check
the ACLs before allowing delivery to the mailbox?
It might :-). But it needs to map all senders that MDA don't recognize to anonymous.

2) Should Sieve fileinto check the ACL before it's allowed?

I guess that should work in the same way.

If answer to either one is "yes", how are the ACL identifiers matched?
I would treat the MAIL FROM sender as the username, canonicalizing it first. If the sender has mailbox on the same server, then you can strip plus addressing from it.
