Yes, you can run a specific request in a collection runner in newman CLI with option --folder.

Documentation:

CLI option : --folder "name"

Run requests within a particular folder/folders or specific requests in a collection. Multiple folders or requests can be specified by using --folder multiple times, like so: --folder f1 --folder f2 --folder r1 --folder r2.

Example:

newman run "postman-collection-API" --environment "postman-environment-API" --folder request-name

Multiple `--folder` support appears to be a new addition to v4 BTW: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52519415/how-to-read-two-folder-with-newman – Ciro Santilli OurBigBook.com Jun 15 '21 at 15:21
Doesn't work when you request in inside a subfolder `--folder /` – Antiez Jul 13 '23 at 14:00

You can also run specific requests in the newman library as follows:

Documentation:

options.folder - The name or ID of the folder/folders (ItemGroup) in the collection which would be run instead of the entire collection.

Example:

newman.run(
  { 
    collection: 'postman-collection-API',
    environment: 'postman-environment-API',
    folder: ['request-name', 'other-request-name']
  },
  function (error, summary) {
    console.log(`${summary.run.executions.length} requests were run`);
  }
);

No, it is not possible to run a single request from a collection using newman. Refer newman command line options
