What do these mean in a sentence '[ ]'?
I often see direct quotes with words in brackets. Does that mean that the speaker didn't actually say the word in brackets, but it was added for clarification by the writer?

Yes, that's exactly what it means. I wrote a faq about this sort of thing. It's disguised as a thread, so it's likely to disappear soon but should still be on page 2 at least.
