This depends on the Fire itself. CC does nothing to put a book on the carousel.

Is there no way to stop Calibre Companion from populating the Carousel?
Because it is the fire itself that is populating the carousel, no, other than to store the books somewhere where the native reader app cannot see them.

Question 2) When I sync with Calibre and send new books (again hopefully empty txt files) will all the books again appear on the Carousel?

I can probably cope with manually deleting thousands of books from the Carousel once but I couldn't do it more than once
My guess is no. Syncing will not change the book file (the empty text file), so the Amazon app will not notice any changes. CC does absolutely nothing regarding the carousel, so receiving new metadata will not have any effect.
