There may an app for Jailbroken phones to do them all at once, but otherwise, you have to do it one at a time. Leaving apps on isn't supposed to use much battery life. It just keeps them in the state you left them. Most aren't really running in the background.
Double click the home button, then hold down one of the icons on the bottom. When they start wiggling, press the red minus sign.

You can turn off data roaming. I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for, though. settings --> General --> Network --> Data Roaming.

Thanks for the info on the first question but for the second one I still want to be able to use my phones full capabilities. With the droid I was able to still use the internet and what not, it just wouldnt pick up mexican cell towers when I was working on the southern border.
