Yes there is....

OP is speaking of the two free nights from the Citibank Visa Reserve card, not a "we're sorry" Be Our Guest corporate apology certificate sent out by HHonrs.

There is nothing listed under the Citibank T&C's that prohibit you from making a reservation in someone else name when redeeming the free night certificate (footnote #1):

Once Citibank transfers the free night(s) certificates over to HHonors, they leave the rules about using the cert up to HHonors.

From the HHonors T&C website regarding "Reward Stays":

#5
The Reward may be issued to the HHonors member, or to any other person, as directed by the Member. Once issued, the Reward is not transferable and may be used only by the individual named on the Reward. If a person other than the individual named on the Reward documentation attempts to redeem the Reward, the Reward will be deemed void and accommodations and/or transportation will be denied.

I have no knowledge regarding point number 2 of your post, so I'll let someone else confirm/deny that point.
