Answer 1

Dijit forms do not have a property "disabled", but rather you have to overwrite the onSubmit event:
dijit.byId('myForm').onSubmit = function () {
// If we return false here, the form will not be submitted.
return myMagicEnabledFlag;
};
Note that you cannot use dojo.connect as you have to modify the return value of the event and not just connect to it.

For disabling the entire form elements, use the "getChildren()" function of the dijit form, which would return the array of all the field widgets of that corresponding form. Then, you need to disable the widgets of that array. See below sample:-
dijit.byId('myForm').onSubmit = function () {
var widgets = dijit.byId('myForm').getChildren();
for(var i=0;i<widgets.length;i++) {
widgets[i].set('disabled', true);
}
//if you need to prevent the form submission & just disable, return false,
//else ignore the following return stmt
return false;
};
