More or less. I have an Android phone, and I have bought and installed Moon+ Pro and CC on it, so I extracted those apk and put them on the ereader. Getting apk for free apps is quite easy online, I'm guessing the official app store . Getting paid apps without having a different Android device, legally, is a bit more of a challenge. "Finding" them is not something that I would personally recommend, but I guess it is an option.

It is possible, but only globally. There is an option to hide the bar in Moon+, but it just turns it black. But there is an option in settings that would hide this bar completely in all displays. This makes navigation marginally more difficult, I think, since it removes the Home button, but there is a physical Back button, so it is possible to make your way around without the bar.
