http_block http://www.domain.com

It is not possible. Squid currently honours any expiry information if
available.

If Modified Since is currently not fully implemented. Currently all IMS
requests are sent to the original server. I have a implementation where
IMS requests are answered directly against the cache (Duane is testing
this), and I have a small todo for implementing full support of IMS in
Squid. Hopefully I will get time to implement everything in July.
