Hi Pander,
1) Fixing this will requires updating libwacom. Requests should be filed
at [1]. Based on the screenshots you provided, it looks like your tablet
has the USB ID 056a:00db. This particular tablet is very similar to an
earlier one which is already in libwacom; you might even have luck doing
just the following and then logging out/in:
$ sudo cp /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-2fg-6x8{,-se}.tablet
$ sudo sed -i 's/056a:00d3/056a:00db/'
/usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-2fg-6x8-se.tablet
2a) The GNOME Control Center does not provide a way to disable the
tablet touchpad. If you would like to see this feature, I would file a
request at [2].
2b) Disabling the touchpad through the linuxwacom driver can be
accomplished by running `xsetwacom set <id> touch off` (replacing <id>
with the ID of your tablet's touch device). To have the touchpad
disabled by default, I believe you can also create a file named
'/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-wacom-notouch.conf' with the following contents:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Wacom touch disable"
MatchDriver "wacom"
MatchUSBID "056a:00db"
Option "Touch" "off"
EndSection
3a) Neither touch enable/disable nor switching between absolute and
relative are possible through the GNOME Control Center. As above, please
file a request at [2].
3b) Mapping a button to touch enable/disable is not possible through
xsetwacom. Please file a request at [3]. Mapping a button to switch
between absolute and relative is possible through xsetwacom. Please run
`xsetwacom set <id> button <n> modetoggle`` (replacing <id> with the ID
of your tablet's pad device, and <n> with the button to use for it).

So you look at the sixty-fours....
