Answer 1

It is not possible to change the behaviour of the ApplicationBar in the way you describe.
The ApplicationBar is not a regular control and it is not possible to alter it's behaviour in this way.

If you really, really want to get the behaviour you're after you'll need to create your own replacement for the ApplicationBar.
