'teilweise' and 'eingeschränkt' both show that something is not whole or not complete. 'teilweise' mainly describes the proportion: one part is true, another part is not; one part is finished, another part is not. 'eingeschränkt' tends to emphasize a limit on possibilities, scope, or validity. It often sounds as if there is less than normal, or agreement only with reservations. 'teilweise' fits well with quantities, results, or statements. 'eingeschränkt' fits better when use, an ability, or agreement is limited.
