TFS Labels or Branching for marking files for specific tasks

I'm newbie to TFS (2013). I used CVS in past, where we used to either create same Named Labels on multiple files or Branched labels to group files under one name, for specific tasks, like Marked with a build number, or Creating Patches/Hotfixes.

Now I'm looking for similar strategy in TFS.

Question: Is it possible to mark multiple folders/files with same Label?
Or
Question: Can we create a separate branch (with a particular name) upon multiple folders/Files?

Using any of above technique, I would be able to get multiple files, may be distributes among different folders, by specifying single Label/Name/Mark etc.

Any help would be really appreciated.

You can mark folders with labels via: Team Explorer (in VS) -> right click on folder -> Advanced -> Apply Label You can branch in a similar way, TE -> right click -> branching and merging.

A good place to start would be to read the ALM Rangers' pdf on Branching Guide.
