You can't disable the button, but you can open a new window (with
window.open), and use it for your stuff.  This window will by default have
no history.

No to all, unless you use the NSAPI stuff, which allows you to modify *your*
copy of Netscape.  You cannot manipulate anyone else's copy of Netscape via
an HTML page, for obvious reasons.

I'm not sure if you have to become a partner to get the SDK.  You might go
to Netscape's site and poke around their Developer Partner pages to see what
it says.
