App questions, blocking, forced distribution, and customization of app settings

App questions, blocking, forced distribution, and customization of app settings

1.) I am looking to see if there is a way to block apps from running. I have default apps that are installed and cannot be removed as they came preinstalled, like Netflix, Twitter, and Facebook, that I want to disable from running or hide them altogether. 

2.) I know we can assign apps to a device, but as far as I've seen, they can only be installed via the App Catalog and it must be initiated by the end user. 

3.) Can we apply custom app settings to an application. It would be nice to push an app to the device and have it preconfigured. I.E. We use Microsoft Office for Android. It would be nice to push the settings file to the device so that the end user doesn't have to login to the company Office 365 account when they install the application.

I know that I have tried other MDM clients in the past and was able to do this.
