Which wiki page are you looking at?

Yes, thats the one. You will need it to be enabled, but can list "none"
to build no helpers.

Only if you use external ACL helpersthat are bundled with Squid. That
does not remove the external ACL code from Squid, just controlls the
bundled helpers being built (or not).

For minimal install options you may want to compare the list in
test-suite/buildtests/layer-01-minimal.opts to yours. It is overdue for
updating right now, but might give you some other ideas of possible
shrinkage.
