Answer 1

In version 2.0.3 Codeigniter - To show Next / Previous only you can add the following config settings:
$config['display_pages'] = FALSE;
$config['first_link'] = FALSE;
$config['last_link'] = FALSE;

Answer 2

You have a couple of options. The first is really simple, hide the thumbnails portion of the pagination module with CSS. The second options isn't too complex either: modify the pagination class to not include the thumbnails, and instead limit its output to the next/prev buttons. This should be somewhat trivial as well.
Line 199 of the System/Libraries/Pagination Library is where the "digits" are handled. This is where you will remove any appending to the $output variable:
if ($this->cur_page == $loop)
{
$output .= $this->cur_tag_open.$loop.$this->cur_tag_close; // Current page
}
else
{
$n = ($i == 0) ? '' : $i;
$output .= $this->num_tag_open.''.$loop.''.$this->num_tag_close;
}
