For your first question, wouldn't it be possible to achieve that with some simple boolean logic? I mean, if you have a requirement to match any of the other fields AND description2, but not if it ONLY matches description 2:
say matching x against field A, B, and description 2: ((A:x OR B:x) AND description2:x) would only give you results from description2 IF there is also a match in either one of the other two fields. If I misunderstood your requirements, you should also note that solr supports pure negative field matching aswell, meaning that you CAN exclude results from a specific field entirely.
