>If I am licensed, can I get something like a Quansheng UV-5 to give to my wife (or any unlicensed person) and operate/set it up in such a way that I can communicate with her within legal boundaries?
just use it outside ham bands with minimal power, nobody gives a fuck as long as yo ustay out of aircraft, military, commercial bands, does PMR 446 MHz exists in Germany ?
you can also get a more complex radio like a RADTEL RT-880 or iRADIO UV-98Plus and use it on CB band (27MHz)

>Can something like a (more expensive) ham hand radio communicate with one those simple hand radios anyone can buy/use?
mostly, yes, the qansheng will do VHF / UHF ham bands
