This may be 2 different questions. I want to send a v-Card (perhaps mine or
another Contact's) to somebody else. Is there a way to control what fields
are included. Some of that info is useful to me but not to others. Some
info may actually be more personal than I want to distribute (e.g.,
birthdays, anniversaries, wife's name) . And I probably don't want the
free-form information I entered about the contact (I don't know the name of
that field) to print, either.

Same question as to printing the Contact's info.

There are two ways to control the information sent:

1) remove unwanted information before you use the File | Save As command to create a .vcf file or the Forward as vCard command

2) Save the contact as a .vcf file and edit that file manually in Notepad.

#1 applies to printing. The second method for printing is to perform a Word mail merge and pick which fields to show.
