When you export interactive PDFs in the export dialog you find left down the option "Embrd Page Thumbnails". Deselect it.

I don't think it's possible.

You can change acrobat to have the Pages panel open or not in the Preferences - but each user would have their own preference. 

And there's many 3rd party pdf readers that may regenerate page thumbnails or something like that.

 

Can you give use an idea what you're doing here? Why don't you want page thumbnails?

They are interactive PDF. Since I generate Table of Contents in the book and also Bookmarks, it seems to me that the Thumbnails option is redundant, with the two previous options the reader moves perfectly through the book.
