After unlocking the Lush Hideout in The Dread Thicket (act 2), I only seem to be able to enhance gear at the crafting bench. When can I craft entirely new equipment?

It's not possible to make the inventory bigger, just to buy more tabs for the stash. I don't foresee any changes to this in the future.
My advice to you, since I used to be the same way, is to not pick everything up, just the things that might fetch more than a few pennies back in town. If you do pick up a gray it should probably be something that you want to upgrade with an orb.
There are ways to make small changes to your skill point distributions in the passive skill tree, however the intention is not that you simply 'reset' the skill tree and instead make a new character if you want to make a large quantity of changes. This is detailed on the Path of Exile website:
If you want to adjust your passive build during gameplay, there are Passive Skill Refund points available from quests or relatively rare items in the game that can be found or traded for. Fixing mistakes with a character build or improving small-medium sized aspects is relatively easy, but our intention is that players who want to try substantially divergent character builds are encouraged to play a new character through the game, organically leveling it up rather than just respeccing into it.
You'll get a few respec points from quests which each allow you to remove a single skill point, so you can try out big nodes and undo little mistakes. This doesn't remove the need to plan your skill point distribution ahead and you'll still have to pay attention.
You can refund individual skill points by using Orbs of Regret (purchased from Yeena in Act 2) but if you're level 20 or above it's easier to just make a new character.
It is not possible to completely reset your passive skill tree.

Crafting in PoE is just using the various currencies, unlocked options in the crafting bench, lab enchants etc. to create a custom made piece of gear.
The earliest you can craft is - right at the start of the game! If you get an orb of Transmutation or Alchemy, apply that to a white base and you will get a magic or rare item back. This is basic currency crafting, and can even be done in Twilight Strand before you enter the Act 1 town.
