I wonder if it is possible for two people to play on one computer (one at a time), sharing the same map, but each retaining its individual character (each maintaining its location to the login / logout and keeping your inventory of personal items)
You could, but the only way I could think of would require 2 accounts and hosting a local server.
You can download a free server hosting file from minecraft.net, start it up, and connect to it using 127.0.0.1 as a server address.
You can login with your minecraft account and play on the server, and your friend can login with his account at a different time and connect to that same server. Both accounts will have characters, locations, inventory saved seperately.
Could you do this from 1 account and offline? I don't think so. There's a lot of mods out there but I don't think this is one of them.
Shadypwns first post was the right way to go.
In single player, the host of the world is always the same game "player". no matter how many accounts you log in with.
Since you don't want to share inventory you can't alternatively run the same world in single player.
Since you don't have 2 computers, you can't have one player always host, and one always share on LAN.
So, you need to run a local server and connect with a local client as Shadypwns said.
You might be able to do this in offline mode, but I don't know the particulars. You can certainly do it with two premium minecraft accounts.

How many computers/accounts do you have currently?
