What can you counterspell MTG?

Generally yes, a counterspell can counter a creature. To clarify the terminology, any card that is on the stack (the zone where cards that have just been played are in as they wait to resolve) is a spell. If the card has the Creature card type, it is a creature spell.

Can you counter tokens?

Cards like Grove of the Guardian have activated abilities that create tokens, and activated abilities can be countered, but very few cards (and no recent ones) can do this. Similarly, an enchantment that tells you to put a token into play has a triggered ability. This is not a spell, just an ability.

Can you counter spell a Planeswalker?

Planeswalker spells (on the stack [C.R. 112.1]) can be countered like other spells (review C.R. 701.5a). A spell that normally can’t be countered would say that it can’t be (an example is Obliterate; see also C.R. 101.2).

Can you counterspell a Planeswalker?

You can counter a planeswalker spell when it’s on the stack (i.e. when it’s being cast), but not the activation after it’s resolved. To counter a planeswalker activation you need something like Stifle, which counters activated abilities.
