For first:
use Galapo's Flush, after flushin your USB flash drive, you can just eject nicely by hand :)
A plugin already available on Gena (Apps\System Tools), can be used by Win7PESE easly (Share Scripts)

This is what I mostly do when I travel around

For 2nd:
I think there is not such an option, if you find required registry let us know.
