Can I use 1000S as a 1000, ie use it without touch input and without the stylus? Can I disable touch input completely? I hate it when a touch device receives commands I didn't intend to give to it whenever I accidentally touch the screen!

The DR1000 doesn't exist. It was mentioned in some pre-release announcements and there was briefly a pre-order for it on their site, but it was never manufactured. The only model you can get right now is the DR1000S.
As far as using it without the stylus, that's not a problem. It won't react to "accidental touches". The screen only works with the stylus, not your finger, etc. Just be aware that there is some functionality that will be impossible (or difficult) to use without the stylus. The user interface was really intended to have the stylus available (that's probably why they never made the DR1000).
