It's very difficult, sometimes to communicate via the web in a forum where terminology can be used so loosely.
"Create internal forms and publish them on a website" - based on FormTools terminology, no, that is not possible. But what do you MEAN to say? Do you mean to ask, "Can FormTools help me design a form that can be published to my website?" If so, then that is what the FormBuilder module is for.
As I explained in your other thread, FormTools can be used to create internal-only forms (forms that can only be submitted by logging in), external forms (forms that can be submitted by visiting your public website) as well as help you design the external forms (using the FormBuilder module).
While I don't mean to sound rude, are you the web designer? While FormTools is a pretty user-friendly tool, it will make much more sense to someone familiar with coding websites in at least HTML, if not other languages. At the risk of sounding mean, my point is that FormTools CAN do everything you've asked for, but it will not do it all by itself. It will require someone behind the wheel, both to administer/manage your website as well as the database and submission data on the server that hosts your website.
Again, forgive me if I've spoken out of turn here, but this looks like the same question you asked in your other thread.
My sincere advice is to keep looking. If you've spent this much time reading about FormTools and can't decide, it's probably not what you're looking for. Then again, after looking around, you might find yourself back here anyway. I spent almost two years looking for a tool like this after the end of FrontPage Server Extensions. If you end up coming back, try out one of the modules. If it turns out to not be what you were looking for, I'm sure Ben of Joseph (the creators) would be willing to work out a refund scenario for you.
