Unplug it perhaps? It's automatic. See:

Right click on the icon for the wireless device in the system tray and
select "disable".

Won't happen unless they manually mess with the route metric. Ethernet
takes priority over wireless and sets the route metric accordingly.

I don't see how connecting via wireless as a guest is going to
circumvent a firewall. It doesn't sound like the firewall is
isolating the inside LAN very well. Let me guess... you have the
guest wireless access point plugged directly into the inside LAN which
bypasses the firewall? That's not a very good idea. Move it to
outside the firewall, with it's own router and routeable IP, and
they'll be totally isolated. You can also get wireless routers that
have "zones" that do the same thing (i.e. Sonicwall).
