Is it possible to remove everything from the start menu but the different domains ..?
So the user can only see the different vm's in the start menu and non of the stuff like "System Tools" and "Create Qubes VM"..

This really isnt a Qubes issue, but relates to the DE you are using.
If you were to switch to KDE you would find it extremely easy to
customise the menu as you like. Right click on the Qube Menu icon and
select "Edit Applications".

XFce Menu support is somewhat harder to manage, but it can be done -
take a look at https://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu to start.
