Basically to turn off all logging (not recommended!!!) just put:
logging {
category default { null; };
};
in your named.conf file. Logging is explained in great detail in
named documentation, specifically in
/usr/doc/bind-8.2.2P5/html/logging.html
( assuming you have the latest bind from Mandrake distro). Don't forget
to restart named daemon after changing config file.

If you don't use NIS the you don't need that package, otherwise this
package is required for proper functioning of NIS (Network Information
Service aka Yellow Pages).
Sorry, don't know answers to the rest of your questions.
