Answer 1

1. There is possibility to "disable" the "unwanted" test elements from the context menu (right click)

   

   greyed out test elements won't be executed

2. You can use Switch Controller to choose which child to run:

   

3. Instead of (or in addition to) Simple Controlles you can use Test Fragments and reference them using Module Controllers:

   

Answer 2

There are multiple methods to achieve it. one easy solution to that is using Module controller.

For that you need to

1. Right-click on testplan and add a new Thread group
2. Add a module controller
3. Select the target to the simple controller on the other thread group which you wanted to run
4. Now If you run the new thread group - it will execute only the selected simple controller

Something looks like this
