Yes, in that scene he crushed a couple of droids and a medical tank indiscriminately, in a fit of rage. In the scene I posted, he focused his powers on a specific area. Now you can interpret it how you want, but to me that suggests that he requires more time and focus to pull off feats of fine control with his power than feats of sheer brute strength.
Think of it this way: If you had a gun and wanted to hit someone, which would be easier, and which would require more time and focus? Sniping them between the eyes? Or spraying bullets in their general direction, hoping for a hit?

That Force Crush was a one time thing, due to his brain overloading when he found out he killed his wife(according to Palpatine). He wasn't even doing it intentionally; it was just a side effect of him lashing out. It's not like he can just Force Crush on a whim.
lol
So the noob Vader who has almost no mastery of the dark side can perform feats that a far more masterful and powerful one is incapable of?
Not to mention, Vader is also shown capable of throwing around (and ripping apart) fairly large machinery.

An assumption with no proof to back it up.
Since emotions fuel the force and the emotion he used was angered which fuels the darkside, it would be more logical to assume that he can do so at will.

Great examples and points.
