1) In Sitecore, you can right click on a node and allow only certain options/pages to be created. For example from the home page I may want 'Create Page', 'Create New Section', however from the news node /news I may only want 'Create News Story' using the fixed news template.
yap, this is done via the document types where you can define the structure, means you can define which document types are allowed under the selected document type.

2) Can we allow a user to only edit certain fields in a template, e.g. a basic user may be able to change a page content, but not the page title.
No, you only have several three roles for users (Admin, Writer, Editor) where the admin can do everything, the writer can publish and the editor only can save the changes, but not publish. You can explicitly set special rights for node trees for separate users, but you cannot give a user the right to edit one filed in one document type and cannot edit the other.
The only possibility is to create completely your own data types where you manage the the rights by yourself.
