Answer 1

You can achieve it by using .input-group and .input-group-addon classes of bootstrap. You can hide down arrow by using below css code in your stylesheet. Below is the code snippet :

select {
  -webkit-appearance: none;
  -moz-appearance: none;
  text-indent: 1px;
  text-overflow: '';
}

<div class="input-group">

  <select class="form-control">
    <option>1</option>
    <option>2</option>
    <option>3</option>
  </select>
  <span class="input-group-btn"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-menu-down"></i></span>
</div>

Only add pointer-events:none; to .select-side. This prevent mouse events in this div and you do click in the select behind:
