Answer 1

You can turn Demo Mode on in additional settings and this will prevent emails from being sent. See below from the CF7 Docs.

If you set demo_mode: on in the Additional Settings field, the contact form will be in the demo mode. In this mode, the contact form will skip the process of sending mail and just display “completed successfully” as a response message.
