Also, I always thought that Tom Petty and Stevie were just friends. Is there documentation that the high priestess took into relationship territory with Tom?

Derek Taylor was the Beatles' road manager. He and Stevie had a very short affair in the summer of 1977 while he was still married. He got married in 1958, hence the "you fell in love when I was only 10" line in Beautiful Child.
During a Rumours Tour show in Los Angeles Stevie dedicated Landslide to him using the nickname "Beauiful Child."

Stevie has always said she and Tom were only friends but there were lots of rumours in the early 1980s as well as during Tom's divorce in the 1990s. Personally I believe her. Her rapport with Tom always seemed brotherly-sisterly much more than romantic.
