Easiest way: install dbconfig-no-thanks (available in sid,
testing/strech and jessie-backports). But you didn't tell us which
version of Debian you are running.

Nowadays, (since version 1.8.48), you can use debconf-set-selections, so
again, this depends on which version you run.

I expect that works, yes. If not, you will need to declare the other
dbc_* parameters as well.
