Answer 1

How do I go about telling git that I don't want to merge them, I just want to take 'theirs' each time?

That would be with a custom merge driver, that you can associate specifically with all binaries (*.dll, *.exe, *.so, ... whatever your particular binary extension is in your case)

See "git merge -s theirs needed — but I know it doesn't exist" for illustration.

What I haven't tested is: does the custom merge driver applies during a rebase --onto.
