First thing, I don't know anything about umbraco. We hired a company and they decided to use it. We just told them it had to be asp. I don't know razor either. Great start right.
Anyways after learning a bit of the basic I figured out some but I cannot figure out if I can do what I am trying. I want to have a split layout picked that they gave up and add a CTA on some pages. i don't want to have to hand code the CTAs. Is there a way to eject components into the layout?
You're going to have to hand code some things though regardless to get the grid to render on the front end but it comes with a handful of default widgets (grid editors) and you can write custom ones or download some packages that are available.
Thanks Amir,
I am still a little lost. Basically I want to have a two column layout template and then put a component on the one side. I don't want the component to be hard coded to the template so I can use it else where and use the template else where. Can Umbraco do that?
Yep! The grid is basically a WYSIWYG layout builder. No hard coding on the editor side, you just have to write some code to render the grid in your template. Give that link i sent a good read.

You should look into the grid: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Getting-Started/Backoffice/Property-Editors/Built-in-Property-Editors/Grid-Layout/
