The point of WebAssembly is to use the sandbox as a means of shipping compiled binaries in a secure manner.

I wonder could all WebAssembly code be shipped in secure containers and make it run similarly to how Google sandboxed the whole Android framework inside of Chrome OS?

Is the security of WebAssembly worse than that currently? Or is it somewhat similar?

I was under the impression the point of WebAssembly is to do asm.js better.

I think these are both, more or less, the same thing. Better asm.js is a binary.
