Is it possible to turn “off” the recommended to buy from the front screen? If not, is there a way to train it to junior titles?
From my experience, the recommendations get better when you buy a few books. You can also mark books as "Not interested" when looking at the recommendations. I'm not sure how much that affects the later recommendations.

To get rid of tiles on the home screen, if you use calibre, my Kobo Utilities plugin has a function to dismiss tiles and prevent them coming back.
