AFAIK that will only work if you use the Synaptics driver, though. Using xinput
will also work if you use libinput.
Ultimately it just depends on your hardware and software. You might not even
have a Synaptics TouchPad at all.

using synclient.
from my i3 config:
# touchpad
bindsym $mod+slash exec --no-startup-id synclient touchpadoff=1
bindsym $mod+period exec --no-startup-id synclient touchpadoff=0
And synclient comes from:
[karl@utopia ~]$ pacman -Qo `which synclient`
/usr/bin/synclient is owned by xf86-input-synaptics 1.8.3-2

Regarding #4, I explicitly turn off the trackpad on my thinkpad when
going to type much. You could probably do something similar.'Synaptics
From my i3 config file:
bindsym --release Control+Shift+space exec --no-startup-id "xinput
list-props 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' | grep -q 'Synaptics Off
([0-9]*):\s*0' && xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad'
Off' 1 || xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'SynapticsOff' 0"
