If I need to rate limit file transfers between to machines, what can I
do at the host-level within CentOS, and what might I need to "yum
install" in order to do?

(For example, say I would like to rsync something, and then I would
like to make sure that I don't exceed, say, 10 Mbs.)

rsync has a built in rate limiter.  See the man pages for more details

--bwlimit=KBPS          limit I/O bandwidth; KBytes per second

Other ways would be to utilize a firewall or switch with built in QoS to perform such tasks. I believe Netfilter supports this type of thing.
