1 - Sure. Turn on restrictions and you can disable apps. You can enter a passcode to launch them.

2 - Not iTunes, but there is another utility called Image Capture that lets you copy your photos off. It is a very minimal tool; I use it for pulling videos off myself (and Aperture for photos).

A few things about restrictions--you can only do that related to some (generally stock Apple) apps or some content or actions within them. Furthermore, when you do it, it's not that you would enter a passcode/password to launch them, you would need to go back into restrictions to disable the restriction first before you could then launch those apps or see the restricted content or perform a restricted action.

Well..
I've checked that option "restriction".. However, it seems not covering all apps.. Only very few selected APPLE apps only!

I was mainly looking for an external app..

Can't really be done aside from essentially jailbreaking and using some tweak that would allow for that.
