Answer 1

Go to Sublime Text > Preferences > Package Settings > SublimeREPL > Settings - User

(If your 'Settings - User' is empty, first copy in the contents of 'Settings - Default')

under "repl_view_settings": add:

,
    "syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain text.tmLanguage"

so mine is now:

// standard sublime view settings that will be overwritten on each repl view
// this has to be customized as a whole dictionary
"repl_view_settings": {
    "translate_tabs_to_spaces": false,
    "auto_indent": false,
    "smart_indent": false,
    "spell_check": false,
    "indent_subsequent_lines": false,
    "detect_indentation": false,
    "auto_complete": true,
    "line_numbers": false,
    "gutter": false,
    "syntax": "Packages/Text/Plain text.tmLanguage"
},

As @joe.dawley wrote in the comments to the original question there is a way to manually disable syntax highlighting in SublimeREPL by using the go to anything-command (Ctrl + Shift + P) and enter "sspl" to set the syntax to plain text.
