Go to Finder, press CMD+SHIFT+H to access your home directory, press CMD+SHIFT+N (keyboard) or File > New Folder (Menu Bar) or right click > New Folder to create a folder.

Depending on the applications, yes, since that home folder and all its sub folders are only accessible by the user knowing the password.

Most if not all can go into the ~/Applications instead of /Applications though they seem pretty innocuous so I'm not sure why you want to hide them from your GF
