Most critters won't start a pet battle if clicked upon.  Surely there
aren't that many pet-battle-enabled critters in one area?

Do you mean your combat pet gets in the way of things you'd like to click
on?  Combat pets will always stand to your character's left, so you could
just face away from the item of interest.  Or you could click the "go
stand over THERE" button on the pet bar to send them away for a bit.

> Or any way to target nearest non-mob item of interest?

I don't believe you can target things that aren't mobs.  I don't know if
this would help, but you can make a keybinding for "interact with the thing
my cursor is currently hovering over."

Hundreds?  I really have no idea what you mean.  What are you doing,
exactly?  And what do you mean by "voidlord"?
