5 years ago Hi,
Some options are more customizable than others. Also note that in the README among the listed limitations there is this:
No control over the Chrome window yet (e.g. you can't remove border, make it transparent, control position or size).
With respect to your questions:
I can right click on the background, and the menu is the same as in Chrome, with commands like "Cast" and "Translate to English", Back/Forward, etc.
Try searching for javascript disable/replace context menu.
You can find solutions like:

I can select and copy text.
Try searching for javascript prevent copy paste, there are some solutions.
If I hover over a hyperlink, the tooltip appears in the bottom of the window with the new address.
This seems difficult without manipulating links from javascript.
If I right click on a hyperlink, I can do things like "Open in Tab", which starts up a full version of Chrome.
I think disabling right-clicks (your first point) should help with this.
If I right click on the programs titlebar, I get options like Print, Zoom, Back/Forward, "Open Browser Window", etc.
I don't think that this can be disabled.
You could run your app in kiosk mode by passing the --kiosk flag to lorca.New().

How does Electron handle this? (I've not developed with it)
Electron should be more customizable, it does have frameless windows built in for example.
I'm trying out lorca and I am new to Go. I have created a little web server and have got it showing in a UI with lorca (on win 10 if that matters). I have noticed that the UI window is still basically Chrome, but without the menus and tab bars. For example;
Can any of this be disabled by lorca, or is limiting the functionality only possible via the tools of HTML/CSS/JS? I don't think that CSS/JS will resolve the right click on the titlebar problems at all.
