To your first query, not as far as I know. The INITs are loaded by INIT16?
(maybe it's INIT14) in the system during the boot process. Since INIT's must
exist within the systems Heap, you would have to reserve room for them to load
later anyway and thus not gain anything. I would suggest you check out a
INIT/cdev control program (like INIT/cdev 3.0), it allows you to pick and
choose which INIT's and cdev's load and which don't during any boot.

As to your second query, I'm not sure exactly what you're getting at. Do you
want a DA that would allow you to run a second "normal" program under Finder? I
certainly haven't heard of anything that does that (and since the DA exists
inside the first applications heap, I'm not sure it could...) You may find
switcher to be a workable solution though.
