Is there a way to suspend the loop() completely? I will be using tasks and timers to run my Arduino code.

Since loop is a FreeRTOS task, possibly by killing it with vTaskDelete(NULL). Or if you want to resume it later, you can block on any FreeRTOS synchronization primitive with portMAX_DELAY as timeout. You can use queue, semaphore, task notification, etc for this.

Yes, it is possible. You can even do it from setup(), just call vTaskDelete(NULL)
