Answer 1

You can provide your own form for ModelAdmin, with custom queryset for foo field.

from django import forms
from django.contrib import admin

#Create custom form with specific queryset:
class CustomBarModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Bar
        fields = '__all__'

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(CustomBarModelForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.fields['foo'].queryset = Foo.objects.filter(title__isnull=False)# or something else

# Use it in your modelAdmin
class BarAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = CustomBarModelForm

Something like this...
