Well, again, it depends on how sophisticated the controls are. If you are willing to throw down $1500 for the Breville Control Freak, you can have control precise enough to use it as a sous vide cooker w/a pot of water on it. Another very nice unit (this is the one I have) is the Vollrath Mirage Pro, which has 100 power settings and a temp range of 80-460F. It holds a fairly constant temp once it's warmed up, although it tends to run about 10 degrees hotter than the setpoint. It is precise enough to melt chocolate (105F) without scorching and hold a constant simmer without the on/off, on/off problem of less expensive induction cookers.
As for full-sized induction cooktops, most of them come with 10 or 20 settings, which may not sound like a lot, but is far more than you get on other stoves (low-med low-med-med high-high) and have very good controls that will allow precise cooking temps--but probably not as precise as the Control Freak.
I hope that helps. The short answer is that yes, induction can give you more control than gas or electric--IF you're willing to pay for it.
