Is there a way to restrict network traffic coming from a program, such as denying network access altogether?

No, that is job for Personal Firewall. That is principal, instead of blocking network traffic GeSWall isolates an application itself. In order to prevent leaks, GeSWall additionally blocks an access to confidential files. Though there are products which restrict files/processes creation and network traffic, GeSWall works in opposite direction. You may run what ever you want, but it will be isolated. That makes GeSWall is less intrusive and doesn't introduce a hole.

Yes, there is. See Network Access Restriction in Help of GeSWall Console.
