Good news. I think picking a free error code is fine. Just add a
reference in the help file at :h E922 which should probably sit at the
description of the stickybuf option.

Why do we need this? If the current buffer is a 'stickybuf' buffer, why
can't we open a new window with the :drop command?

What mappings? By default there shouldn't be any mappings, so why do you
need them to be disabled? If you are talking about certain functionality
such as :b for switching a buffer, I think that should simply just cause
an error and abort for the sticky buffer.
Regarding the current :norm! meaning:
:norm! executes commands without applying mappings, such that if you do
:nmap k j
you can still use :norm! k to mean go upwards.

I don't understand this question.

Yes, please go ahead and create a PR. So we can easily test it and you
can get better feedback.
Thanks,
