Answer 1

Check in the status menu in the lower bottom corner of the Gedit window.

If you want to do it in a as per-file basis, you can use modelines https://help.gnome.org/users/gedit/stable/gedit-plugins-modelines.html.en.

For example have a comment in the first line of your text file. In this case, autowrap:nil will suppress text wrapping.

// -*-indent-tabs-mode:t;c-basic-offset:4;tab-width:4;autowrap:nil;-*-
