Is there a point at which no more sodium and chloride ions will dissolve? How do you know?

Yes, this is the saturation point. For sodium chloride, the saturation concentration in pure water is relatively high - you can dump a lot of salt into water before it will precipitate out as a solid at the bottom of the container.
