Does Smartsheet allow for different types of dependencies?
Is there a way to select the type of dependency? It seems like the automatic default for the sheet functionality is Finish to Start but is there a way to create Finish to Finish and Start to Finish?

Yes. You can have all 4 kinds of dependencies. You can either type them in when you're setting up the dependency, such as "3FF" or "12SS", or you can click on the pencil icon in the dependencies cell and edit from there:
-
You can also create a lead or lag by putting in a negative or positive number in the Lag box. e.g. the formula for a second task that starts 3 days before the finish of the first task would be "# of Task 1FS - 3d" in the dependency box of Task 2.
