So: does the Kobo Libra Colour have the ability to turn off the touchscreen? Or is the touchscreen so clever that it's usable even with wet hands/water droplets on the screen?

In the out of the box settings, no. You can change tapping for page turns to swiping only but you can't turn off the touch screen entirely. Maybe it is something that is possible to patch? But I don't know about that.
