With the default "Loading Look..." or "Loading (Appearance) Preset..." you can't, at least I don't know how. But there're plugins out there which can do that. I.e. if I look at the screenshots of the plugin "

", there's a "Change Scale" setting which can be enabled/disabled, so I assume that you should be able to load a look/appearance without changing the scale of your model. I've never tried it myself, but you should give it a go I guess.
Depends. Sound sources can be all over the place, and there's no such thing like "mute the scene" (unless the creator of the scene has added an option to do so by adding smth. like a button or so for you to press). As sounds literally can be attached to any atom in a scene, and even been loaded through plugins and such, it's sometime hard to find all the sources if you want to disable certain sounds/music. You can always use the "Freeze Motion/Sound", but that will of course also freeze any animations together with all the sound.

If you're talking about a specific scene, share the source of that scene, and tell me what sounds you want to have disabled, and I will have a look.
