There’s no specific point in any of *BSD. They all are general purpose OSes. NetBSD forked from FreeBSD, OpenBSD forked from NetBSD. Conflicts between developers were main reasons for that.
NetBSD didn’t fork from Free iirc. They took 4.4 BSD and started developing it themselves of the net.
Theo de Raadt was kicked out of netbsd, and started OpenBSD.
Yes, you are right. Both FreeBSD and NetBSD are based on earlier BSD systems. Anyway there are no fundamental differences between them.

No such ones that would make one of them unsuitable for some task that another copes with.
