In the United States, the overall governing body is USA Track & Field. However, each state has HS and other school associations, and each national collegiate association governs their own competitions.
For example, in the state of Texas, there are 3 different HS associations that cover the whole state. UIL governs public schools, TAPPS governs most private and parochial schools and SPC governs the prep schools. SPC also includes a handful of prep schools in Oklahoma, so technically it isn't limited to just Texas schools.
Internationally, the IAAF governs the Olympics, World Championships and other international track meets. Each country has their own association that governs track events and international competition selection meets.

That is correct. Track events are won by who can run the fastest (timing) and field events are won by who can throw the furthest or jump the furthest/highest (distance/height).
Track events are running on a track ie. 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 800m, 1500m and hurdles. For 100m you would run one quarter of the way around the track. Field events are events that don't take place on the track ie. long jump, javelin, shot-put, triple jump and high jump.
