it's not possible to disable v1/v2 through compile config, but you can
configure the VACM to disable access for v1/v2 requests. And you can
filter requests in the main function: Instead of calling
process_request() you can call remove_request() to ignore the request.

Are you writing about the thread pool size? You can call
Mib::set_thread_pool() to set a non default thread pool.

Yes, you can use it for a commercial (binary only) product.

The license is not GPL, and I cannot say if it would be possible to
switch to GPL. The license was written by HP. At least the license seems
to be good enough for Debian:
