Yes, you can define a lot of this by using Group Policies or Local
Policies. More information about this can be found in the Office Resource
Kit.

You can customize the installation to lock down certain items but, in my
opinion, locking out Signatures is not a good idea. What happens if you
have a custom company signature and your telephone number changes, or you
need to add a website to the signature? What if the employee needs a
non-company signature for some reason?

Unfortunately, "There are seldom technological solutions for behavioral
problems." I would suggest a 30 minute training course for employees once
you decide to deploy Outlook, covering the new settings and giving a brief
but forceful explanation that certain items are NOT to be changed.

Other than giving the users mandatory roaming profiles (which will prevent
them from making *any* changes to their Windows profile, and hence their
mail profile) which may be overkill, I suggest you look at Milly's
response..
