Answer 1

This is similar to another that I answered, you might find it useful: Case Assignment Notification Suppression

SF Documentation on the EmailHeader option: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/Content/apex_methods_system_database_dmloptions.htm#emailheader

The relevant part:

//THIS DMLOPTION SEEMS TO BE IGNORED IN BEFORE UPDATE TRIGGERS
Database.DMLOptions dlo = new Database.DMLOptions();
dlo.EmailHeader.triggerAutoResponseEmail = false;
dlo.EmailHeader.triggerUserEmail = false;
dlo.EmailHeader.triggerOtherEmail = false;

database.update(casesList,dlo);

There is some workaround would be to create a Queue, assign the user to that - and then uncheck the "email members of queue" in the Queue setup. Then assign those leads to that Queue rather than the user directly. By using this method, you can turnoff email notification for specific user as well.
