Q: Why can I not post to my communities

That UI is terrible but these support communities cover so many categories it's hard to see how to improve it. I guess it would be helpful be to create a 'start discussion' button in each sub-section such as 'Using iPhone'.
You could try posting feedback to Apple (seems to be down for me at the moment)…
Once you select a topic can you post?
Frankly a moderator may fix your issue if you post to the wrong area anyway, I would add a note to the bottom of the post.

None of the "categories seemed appropriate to my question (how to remove music from I phone without affecting iTunes and how to avoid syncing iTunes when charging phone from laptop.)
I will follow your advice and submit feedback. We can sometimes make things a little more complex than needed.
Thanks

Since the question is about iPhone and iTunes, either of Using iPhone, iTunes for Mac, or iTunes for Windows would be suitable but since you'll want advice for your specific version of iTunes it might be best to use whichever of the last two applies.
The answer to the question about removing media depends on whether the device is synced, manually managed, or you have either Apple Music or iTunes Match and have enabled iCloud Music Library on the device.
As for the second question use either ITunes > Preferences > Devices (Mac) or Edit > Preferences > Devices (Win) and then tick the box that reads Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically. When a device is connected you can also view the device's summary page to make sure (if you wish) that iTunes doesn't launch automatically when the device is connected.
