Sections is a standard feature of flexforms, they implement an array of elements inside the flexform. You can sections in plugin configuration, for example (similar to IRRE but without intermediate records).

Not possible I afraid. You can have fields with the same name inside different containers in the flexform:

[CO] ROOT
	[SH] Sheet 1
		[EL] field_title =
		[SC] field_repeating
			[CO] field_sub
				[EL] field_title
			[CO] field_sub
				[EL] field_title
	[SH] Sheet 2
		[EL] field_title
		[SC] field_repeating
			[CO] field_sub
				[EL] field_title
			[CO] field_sub
				[EL] field_title
			[CO] field_sub
				[EL] field_title

This is fully legal for flexforms.

You may want to define different values to field_title for different languages ;)
