Answer 1

OutlinedInput is desined in such a way that you can't turn off its outline you have to use TextField with variant 'outlined' as default and 'none' on focus. You can see the example of Outlined Input Adornments using TextField here

Answer 2

The key to understanding how to override these styles is to look at how they are defined in the Material-UI source code. The question you referenced also shows some of the syntax needed.

Below is an abbreviated version (I left out the styles that are not related to the outline) of the styles from OutlinedInput.js:

export const styles = theme => {
  const borderColor =
    theme.palette.type === 'light' ? 'rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.23)' : 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.23)';

  return {
    /* Styles applied to the root element. */
    root: {
      position: 'relative',
      '& $notchedOutline': {
        borderColor,
      },
      '&:hover:not($disabled):not($focused):not($error) $notchedOutline': {
        borderColor: theme.palette.text.primary,
        // Reset on touch devices, it doesn't add specificity
        '@media (hover: none)': {
          borderColor,
        },
      },
      '&$focused $notchedOutline': {
        borderColor: theme.palette.primary.main,
        borderWidth: 2,
      },
      '&$error $notchedOutline': {
        borderColor: theme.palette.error.main,
      },
      '&$disabled $notchedOutline': {
        borderColor: theme.palette.action.disabled,
      },
    },
    /* Styles applied to the root element if the component is focused. */
    focused: {},
    /* Styles applied to the root element if `disabled={true}`. */
    disabled: {},
    /* Styles applied to the root element if `error={true}`. */
    error: {},
    /* Styles applied to the `NotchedOutline` element. */
    notchedOutline: {}

  };
};

The "outline" of OutlinedInput is controlled via the border on the NotchedOutline component nested within it. In order to impact that nested element, you need to define a "notchedOutline" class (even if empty) that you can then use to target that element for the different states (e.g. focused, hover) of the parent.

Here's an example that fully removes the border:

import React from "react";
import ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import OutlinedInput from "@material-ui/core/OutlinedInput";
import InputAdornment from "@material-ui/core/InputAdornment";
import { withStyles } from "@material-ui/core/styles";

const styles = theme => ({
  root: {
    "& $notchedOutline": {
      borderWidth: 0
    },
    "&:hover $notchedOutline": {
      borderWidth: 0
    },
    "&$focused $notchedOutline": {
      borderWidth: 0
    }
  },
  focused: {},
  notchedOutline: {}
});
function App(props) {
  const { classes } = props;
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <OutlinedInput
        disableUnderline={true}
        notched={true}
        id="adornment-weight"
        classes={classes}
        value={1}
        endAdornment={<InputAdornment sposition="end">BTC</InputAdornment>}
      />
    </div>
  );
}
const StyledApp = withStyles(styles)(App);
const rootElement = document.getElementById("root");
ReactDOM.render(<StyledApp />, rootElement);
