Answer 1

I found this elsewhere and haven't tried it myself. As with any such hack, have a backup or be prepared to reinstall. Hope it works for you, though.
"Since ARD 2.0, when an administrator locks a screen, the locked screen tells who did it. At times you might not want clients to know who is controlling the computer.
1. Make sure Apple Remote Desktop is not running, and navigate to the folder containing the application.
2. Control-click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu.
3. In the window that opens, navigate to Contents/Resources/English.lproj (or whatever language you're using).
4. Find the file "LockScreenTask.strings" and create a backup copy in a safe place.
5. Open the original "LockScreenTask.strings." If you have the Developer Tools instaled, it will open in Xcode; otherwise, you can open it in TextEdit.
6. You should see the following:
7. /* Localized versions of task strings */
8. taskString = "Lock Screen";
9. taskDescription = "Lock Screen";
10. longTaskDescription = "Lock screens on target computers";
11. actionString = "Lock Screen";
12. lockedByString = "\r\rScreen locked by %@";
13. lockedByStringNoText = "Screen locked by %@";
14. defaultPictureName = "Lock Screen Picture";
15. // Task progress
16. kLockScreenRequestingOne = "Locking screen";
17. kLockScreenRequestingMany = "Locking screens";
18. Change the line lockedByStringNoText = "Screen locked by %@"; to lockedByStringNoText = "";. Now "Screen locked by" will not appear when you lock the screen of a client computer if you don't type a message, but it will still appear if you do.
19. If that's not sufficient, replace the line lockedByString = "rrScreen locked by %@"; with lockedByString = "rr";. Now the "Screen locked by..." message won't appear even if you send them a message.
20. Save your work, launch ARD, and you're done."
