I know that you can have parent MENUS and parent VIEWS - but can you add a node to another node?
Before learning Drupal I wrote my own rudimentary CMS. It was buggy, and couldn't do much, but it had a couple of successful uses. And one of the hallmarks was that every node type on the site could be the child or parent of another node. Here's an example of this: http://www.clovenhand.com/webcomics/andrew - see how there are image nodes attached under the content of the page - as well as comment nodes (where are their own nodes as opposed to how drupal does it)...
Creating a new view every time I want one node to be the parent with child nodes underneath just isn't going to work.

Not sure if this would work
Not sure if this would work for you, but have you checked out taxonomy? Maybe some sort of combination of free-tagging and hierarchical tag structure? I don't know if this has the right on-the-fly capabilities, but it might be worth looking into.
