Hello, welcome to the forum!
If you are new to Textpattern, take a look at excerpt tag, it could suffice. For more advanced tasks, there are plugins like rss_auto_excerpt.

Sure, if you tell us what you have tried. Putting this instead of <txp:body /> in the default article form should suffice:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:body />
<txp:else />
<txp:excerpt />
</txp:if_individual_article>Offline

Yes, that’s what the Excerpt field is designed for. If you prefer auto excerpts, install rss_auto_excerpt plugin and read the included help/forum thread. I don’t remember how it works, but someone here should be able to help.
