You would do this in the policies set on the OS, not in Office. Likewise
for the Windows Update, you would use the system policies as well.

You can set the BlockUpdates policy to prevent updates from OfficeUpdate.
I'm not sure where this is in the CIW, but you can set the key here:

Group Policy Key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\
Microsoft\Office\Common\OfficeUpdate\BlockUpdates
Type
DWORD
Values
1 = Block Updates from Applying
0/Not Present = Allow Updates to be applied
