In order to be able to activate a content, user needs to have a write 
permission on the content. So by setting permissions for the editors you can 
control what content they are able to edit (and activate).

The type of items that publishers see in the inbox is controlled by the 
workflow itself to which group of users is given item dispatched. As Sebastian 
already pointed out in his answer, you can do so either via modifying existing 
workflow and dispatch to different group in case content belong to the subtree 
that requires special handling or you can have completely separate workflow for 
given subtree.

Third option you have is to modify the command chain and write your own 
dispatcher command that can have any sort of custom logic you can imagine for 
deciding which workflow to invoke.

Alternatively you can extend WebsiteTreeConfiguration class and completely 
customize activation menu entry.

Not to forget ...
The default editor and publisher groups (and roles assigned to them) control 
indeed look of AdminCentral for the their members and give write access to the 
editors and read only access to the publishers for the website content.
