I wanted to use Yammer for my smaller team within a large government agency. I set up a board and shared a test message but it went out to thousands of people I did not intend to include! Is it only possible to have 1 "community" in an organization?

If an organization in MS365 is doing business and also using existing MS tools to offer courses in its areas of expertise. Can external users (students) be added in communities?

[@your365coach]

Yes, External Users can be added into Viva Engage (AKA Yammer) Communities too, it uses the same method of SharePoint Guest Sharing, as it's built on top of Microsoft 365 Groups, so you can share them externally and invite people in.
There is more information here from Microsoft on this too - learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/work-with-external-users/collaborate-guests-external-viva-engage-community
