CC-mode gives you a lot of options for controlling indentation.
M-x Info-goto-node RET (ccmode)Commands RET
The subsections "Indentation commands", "Minor Modes" and "Electric
keys" will probably be the most relevant for what you're trying to
accomplish.
For (1) something like
(setq c-basic-offset 8
indent-tabs-mode t
c-insert-tab-function 'tab-to-tab-stop)
(setq c-syntactic-indentation nil) ; maybe, or maybe not this one
should be close to the behavior you're looking for.
For (2), try
(c-toggle-electric-state -1)
