I, a beginner too, and maybe others don't really understand your need, but here are my guesses (I hope someone else will help too). My first advice is to upgrade your version of Lilypond. :) About item 2: You might find answers in 8.4.1 Polymetric notation. Also if you use \set Score.defaultBarType = "empty". No bar line will be drawn unless you specify, for example, c8 c8 \bar "|" c8 c8.
About item 1: Do you need what is described in section 8.5.1? Or you may find something in the Regression Tests or Tips and Tricks. It is worth consulting these html files.

I'm using 2.4.5. 1) I need to draw boxes notes on the staff, in order to designate improvisation. Is this possible? (I would be surprised if it wasn't, but I seem unable to find anything in the docs.) 2) Is there a way to draw manual barlines in one staff that won't affect anything in other staves? For instance: c8 c8 \bar c8 c8 overtop of: c2 I'm sorry if either of those questions are covered in the docs, a link would be sufficient.
