I want to use the Palatino font without changing the math font, and it seems to me that both \usepackage{palatino} and \usepackage{newpxtext} give the same result.
Can I use either?

There is no boldface small caps font available, so you won't get it. Also \fontsize{50}{50} is not really something one wants to do.
What you have to modify is not the \title command, but the \maketitle command. What \title does is just storing the title is a safe place for later retrieval, when the document header will be typeset.
Don't forget the sc option to mathpazo to have a “real” small caps font (thanks to Manuel for noticing).
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\usepackage[sc]{mathpazo} %font Palatino
\usepackage{xpatch}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd{\@maketitle}
{\@title}
{\fontsize{40}{48}\scshape\@title}
{}{}
\makeatother
\title{Hinter eines Baumes Rinde wohnt die Made mit dem Kinde}
\author{Heinz Erhardt}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\blinddocument
\end{document}
If you don't already have them, then install Tex Gyre Pagella and TeX Gyre Pagella Math from the TeX Gyre project and then you can do this:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{unicode-math}
\setmainfont{TeX Gyre Pagella}
\setmathfont{TeX Gyre Pagella Math}
\begin{document}
Some Unicode maths: $x ∈ ℕ$ in a Palatino-like font.
\end{document}
Run with xelatex to get:
Note that unicode-math package loads fontspec automatically.

You can of course use either, but use
newpxtextThe
psnfsscollection was designed to use the "real" Adobe fonts available in the new laser printers becoming available,palatino.styis justthat is it sets palatino for roman, helvetica for sans and courier for monospaced, with no other adjustments.
With modern requirements to embed fonts in the PDF rather than rely on fonts built in to a printer, in fact by default clone fonts will be used so as you comment the end result is similar to newpxtext but
newpxtextis far more extensive using TeXGyre Pagella and with several options to adjust commands to better use that font set and using npxss for sans serif which is again based on Helvtica but adjusted to patch the roman font, and similarly npxtt for monospace.
