[Star Wars] Is there an Empire separate from the First Order?

Are there still systems controlled by the old Empire, and the First Order is just a branch of said Empire, like how the Resistance is a branch of the Republic - or did the First Order have a complete take-over/reboot of the Old Empire after the peace treaty?

Sort of. The Alliance founded the New Republic, after dismantling huge swathes of the Empire's infrastructure. But the Alliance also wanted to end the fighting, so there are still technically Imperial remnants, though most are effectively bound to the New Republic.

The job of the Resistance is to remove these strongholds of former Imperial power that are antagonistic to the New Republic.

The First Order is a group of Imperials that reconvened in the Unknown Reaches of the Galaxy, and have then resurfaced, even more radical than before as they suffered great losses.
