WT can be used in the way you described but this will protect only your page content (HTML). So if this page includes some pictures/attachments etc. which only members should download, WT can not help you as it does not protect a file or directory. (Well people can not see the file link if they can't see the WT it includes but in this scenario you can not protect your file links distributed with other sources like email, PM, MSN etc.)

The main thing I need is to be able to restict access to my pages based on vB's authentication and pull username and primary group memberid out of either a session variable or cookie for use within my code.

This is what WT does anyway.
