Is there a way that I can create usernames and passwords so that multiple people can log into my router? Users should be able to get as far as the User Exec mode, I'll be the only one with the Priv Exec Password.

One way to do it would be to like this
(config)#username bbb privilege 0 password cisco
(config)#line vty 0 4
(config-line)#login local

You could asign different privileges to different users, level 0 is by default the user exec mode,level 15 is privilege mode.
Use (config)#privilege etc....... you can play around modifying the levels of different commands enabling you to create a customized command list per level which can then be assigned per account.

And if I wanted to disable a user I would use:

(config)#no username ...... ?
