I get an undefined command error. Does it work on your machine?

Untested but this should work:
\section{This title is long \nomarking{enough to cause problems in
    the headers and footers}}
Everything inside \nomarking{} will not be shown in the headers or
    footers.
See https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/nomarking

Hello,
How can I clip long markings in the header?
See this MNWE, where the two copies of section title collide
        on page 3.
---------------
        \starttext
        \setupbodyfont[20pt]
        \setupheadertexts[section][section]
        \section{One}
        \section{Two}
        \page
        \section{Three}
        \page
        \section{Long Title for Section Four}
        \page
        \section{Five}
        \stoptext
        ------------
How can I clip the title to a fixed length (5cm?) and perhaps
        add "..." at the end for longer titles?
Is it possible to provide an alternative shorter section title
        within \section?
Use \startsection https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_startsection 
instead of \section. That allows you to specify different values for 
title, bookmark, heading, references, and more.

\starttext
\setupbodyfont[20pt]
\setupheadertexts[section][section]
\section{One}
\section{Two}
\page
\section{Three}
\page
\startsection[title=Long Title for Section Four,marking=Long Title]
\stopsection
\page
\section{Five}
\stoptext
\starttext
