Often I say "oh crap I was doing good and then I ruined it by making a careless error". OR I say "What if I had done XYZ instead of this?"

I'd love to be able to start a new game and have it start from a point from a previous game so I could experiment/learn.

You can
When creating a new game you can set up the pieces as you wish and also determine the rating band of the person allowed to accept the game from that position.

You can do this by going through the game history, using the Prev and Next buttons to reach the desired position, then click "Start game from position".
