Yes. Set the contacts so they don't receive alerts using
service_notification_options. See the docs about contact configuration
here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#contact

That's normal -- host checks will run serially as fast as they can. See
the docs on host checks here:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/checkscheduling.html#host_checks

If you don't want host check functionality, use a host check that will
never go down (check_dummy is a good plugin to use for this).
