Answer 1

The links above appear to be for v1.7. However, this worked for me in v1.9:

Open: app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/catalog/product/list.phtml and remove or comment:

<?php if($_compareUrl=$this-getAddToCompareUrl($_product)): ?>
  <li><span class="separator">|</span> 
  <a  title="<?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?> " href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>" rel="tooltip" class="link-compare "><?php echo $this->__('Add toCompare') ?></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

Do the same to grid view.

Then, open: app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/template/catalog/product/view/addto.phtml and remove or comment:

<?php
$_compareUrl = $this->helper('catalog/product_compare')->getAddUrl($_product);
?>
<?php if($_compareUrl) : ?>
<li><span class="separator">|</span> <a href="<?php echo $_compareUrl ?>" class="link-compare"><?php echo $this->__('Add to Compare') ?></a></li>-->
<?php endif; ?>

Lastly, open: app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/layout/catalog.xml and remove or comment:

<block type="catalog/product_compare_sidebar" after="cart_sidebar" name="catalog.compare.sidebar" template="catalog/product/compare/sidebar.phtml"/></block>

Save and clear cache.

An easy way to disable the wishlist, without the need to touch any code is in the backend: system_config/edit/section/advanced

Configuration / Advanced / Advanced

just find Mage_Wishlist near the bottom of the list and choose disable and Save Config

There are many ways to axe the compare products functionality in different places of your site.
