Is it possible to change the Kinect point cloud resolution, via openni_camera or openni_node, such that fewer points are returned ?

Check out the Changing driver settings section of the openni_camera wiki. The parameter you'd want to tweak is depth_mode. The Kinect openni_node driver supports VGA(640x480), QVGA(320x240), and QQVGA(160x120) resolutions of the point cloud, all at 30Hz.
