Yes, it's better to be on the safe side, and refrain from thinking about those topics while in the bathroom.

No, that wouldn't be advised. If you have that difficulty, it's better to redirect your thoughts to something else. For example, you could think about sports, or the stock market, or your next shopping list, or what clothes you're going to wear tomorrow, etc. etc. etc.
