Answer 1

It is simple Dave !!

Go to site content of the site --> Add an app--> Document library.

For creating folders, open your library click Files --> New Folder

(Repeat above process twice)

Then for permissions -->Select the folder -->Share--> Edit-->Advanced-->(Break inheritance if showing)Grant Permissions. Done

Answer 2

If there more users you could create groups with separate permission and then open the document library => Document Library Settings => Permission For the Document Library => then assign the created group or The User's those how need the access on assigning time there is an option permission you can add the user with desired permission .
