For your point #1, you could prevent double-clicking from opening the designer but instead open the code editor by default.

You can do this by:

• right-clicking on a .cs file that has a form

• select "CSharp Editor" (or VB)
• click "Set as Default"
• and OK

If you want to change it back later, follow same procedure but pick "CSharp Form Editor".
