I know how to filter entry nodes. I can do it with Protowall or another
firewall. That's easy.

I wonder if Tor makes an initial connection to all nodes from which it
later constructs a circuit.

If Tor is never allowed to connect to certain nodes, and therefore "doesn't
know" about them, can they still be used as exit nodes?
