My avocado tree nearly touches my ceiling and is too scraggly now. But I grew it from a seed and I love it. (sniff sniff)

If I cut the top branch off, which is fresh, green and new (newish), can I root it? Has anyone done this? If I cut the main stem back severely will it sprout new leaves from there?

Also, my Dracaena is failing and has too few leaves to make it attractive. The "stems" are very thick - 2 inches maybe. If I clean it up, cut the stems and repot them, will they sprout?
