Yes.

These are courtesy of the kuick plugin that i part of the kdeaddons package. 
You can disable that plugin by removing 
$KDEDIR/share/services/kuick_plugin.desktop

No, you would have to remove $KDEDIR/share/services/konq_sidebartng.desktop

The sidebar stores its entries in $KDEHOME/share/apps/konqsidebartng/entries

You may be able to lock it down by locking down the resource:
[KDE Resource Restrictions][$i]
data_konqsidebartng=false

This will not (yet) be reflected in the UI.
