No, not currently possible. Any changes in this dialog (or the underlying preferences database) take effect immediately. It would have to be redesigned as an explicit-apply dialog (i.e. with OK/Cancel buttons), which wouldn't be technically difficult, but would be non-standard behaviour for a GNOME preferences dialog. I also suspect that at some point, this dialog will disappear to be replaced by a Proxies tab in the network-admin dialog. This dialog also supports different environments, and is already shipped in Solaris Express.

Yes, pending any currently-unforeseen changes to UI spec. http://www.gnome.org/~calum/nevada/ui-spec/index.htm (Note this version is slightly out-of-date... it's now at v1.1, which I haven't uploaded yet.)
