Answer 1

yes you can do that with the Restriction feature of the Apple MDM

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/restrictions

You can blicklist the iOS apps from the home launcher and apps will be hidden for that device, The only condition is you can only use this feature in supervised iOS devices.

You can make your iphone supervised with 2 methods:

1. Apple Business Manager or DEP (Over the air or automated enrollment)
2. Manual or self enrollment using apple configurator 2
