You'll want to firewall or ACL appropriately. You can form VPNs as you typically would -- openvpn for example.

This would include port scanning packets and connections from other Linode customers in the same data center correct? Is there a way to form a vpn using the private IPs of just the nodes within your Linode account - to get LAN speed, no bandwidth charges for local traffic AND security?

You can't sniff traffic on the back-end LAN. You won't see other people's traffic. The only packets you'll receive are those that are destined for your Linode. It works no differently from our public-networking filtering. We filter traffic based on MAC and IP addresses. You can’t sniff traffic on the back-end LAN. You won’t see other people’s traffic.

Am I looking in the wrong place (e.g. Utilities) or is there a reason this wasn't added to the manager yet? I couldn’t find a link to this within the Linode manager.
