Did Lenin's 'New Economic Policy' permit capitalism?
Yes, Lenin did allow a limited amount of capitalism in his New Economic Policy. Lenin recognized that the Russian economy was more stagnant than it had been during the Tsarist regime. Agricultural output was down because of his "war communism" policy, which simply prompted peasant farmers to grow less produce and even destroy some crops and livestock. Manufactured goods were also in short supply. Lenin now faced the same shortages that prompted the February Revolution and the overthrow of the Tsar and later the October Revolution and the overthrow of the Provisional Government. He feared his own regime would be overthrown as well, so he re-introduced capitalism in the agricultural field as well as in small businesses in the industrial field. Ironic that Lenin, the communist, had to turn to capitalism in order to save the communist anti-capitalist system.

What are similarities and differences between communism and fascism?
Communism is a far-left economic/political ideology that believes modern capitalistic society will eventually evolve into a stateless, classless, moneyless society where the workers control the means of production (the means of production being factories, farms, mines, etc). However, in practice, communist countries (an oxymoron right from the beginning) have been authoritarian dictatorships or oligarchies where the workers have had virtually no power whatsoever.
Fascism is a quirky far-right political ideology which posits that modern liberal democracies have become decadent and obsolete, and the nation must be unified and controlled by the State- that is, a powerful central government usually ruled by a dictator. Fascists also tend to be extremely nationalistic and militaristic- they believe violence can be justified, and that war can be useful for strengthening their nation. Interestingly, Fascism strongly opposes communism, but also opposes capitalism and democracy.
