This works great for me. Apparently the Apple Macbook Pro Retina 13" uses
a Synaptics touchpad.
Much appreciated!
Thanks,
Bryan

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.

A littlebit offtopic. But for Synaptics touchpads there is a easier way,
by 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 I'm
going to type much. You could probably do something similar.
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' 'Synaptics
Off' 1 || xinput set-prop 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' 'Synaptics Off' 0"
