What is the default scope of a refactoring operation (file, project,
package, workspace)? Is there any way to control the scope?
More specifically, if I use the Refactor / Change Method Signature, does
the change affect the entire workspace?

Workspace.

Besides closing projects you don't want to be affected, or temporarily cut
dependencies between projects, nothing I am aware of.

Yes, sort of - of course only projects depending on the project the
refactoring is done in can be affected.
Why would you want to restrict the refactoring?

the scope of that one is: all files that refer to that method or any
methods that this one is overridden by (from where it goes and find
appropriate methods up and down the hierarchy - recursively. which is
known as the 'ripple effect')
simpler put: unless the method is private or package visible, it
searches in the current project and all projects that depend on this one
(it makes you start the refactoring for a method that does not override
any methods)
cheers
