Here is a function I received from this list that I think could
be of benefit to you:

noBreak =
#(define-music-function (parser location music) (ly:music?)
  #{ \temporary\override
       Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-permission = ##f
     #music
     \revert Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn.line-break-permission
  #})

Its usage is:

\noBreak { \music }

around segments of \music where you wish to forbid line breaking.

Regarding the second point, you want ragged-right = ##f, as the
attached example shows.

HTH,

Jim
