Answer 1

You have to uninstall 3 things to completely get rid of tiller:

1. Deployment
2. Service
3. Secret

    kubectl delete deployment -n some-namespace tiller-deploy 
    kubectl delete svc -n some-namespace tiller-deploy 
    kubectl delete secret -n some-namespace tiller-secret

Be sure to backup the secret as it store all the certificates if TLS is enabled.
