So on my site I'm using Google Maps + Streetview: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-simple
Also I'm using standard searchbox with autocomplete, the problem is when I enter some locations, there is no streetview, just Photo Sphere image without any controls for moving around like in standard streetview...
I really don't want Photo Sphere, because I want my users to freely move around with street view, and now they sometimes get "trapped" in one Photo Sphere image... Is there a way I can force streetview without Photo Sphere?

You should be able to delete them from the Profile tab on the street View app on your phone or from your Contributions profile on the web version of Maps.
Try going to the Sidebar>Layers>More>Spot Image and turn it off. You'll probably want to turn off Digital Globe right below it too. if you can't see the Sidebar, you can enable it in the View menu.
I'm not sure how to turn off PhotoSpheres, but I did find a workaround that may be useful to you. I noticed at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#StreetViewSource that when searching for a location, if you set the source to OUTDOOR, then PhotoSpheres are not returned.
Therefore, if you add listeners for location changes, and then search for the location without PhotoSpheres, I think you should be able to prevent them from showing up.
Here is a modified google maps example to illustrate:
