With the command `\input file`, I can input the entire contents of `file.tex`. Is there a way to limit it to the first n lines, for instance, something like `\input[10]` file would only input the first 10 lines from `file.tex` and ignore the rest of the lines.

With \typebuffer you can define a "range", see
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/typebuffer
But I guess you should write a Lua function that suits your use case.
