Answer 1

To suppress notifications for your alerts would be to use the Alert Processing Rules feature, which is currently in preview.

The Alert processing rules that modify the fired alerts themselves as they are being fired. You can use alert processing rules to add action groups or remove (suppress) action groups from your fired alerts. In your requirement you could use Suppress.

Suppress approach has some limitations:

• You could disable the relevant alert rule at the beginning of the maintenance window. Once the maintenance is over, you can then re-enable the alert rule. However, this approach is only practical if the scope of the alert rule is exactly the scope of the resources under maintenance. For example, a single alert rule might cover multiple resources, but only one of those resources is going through maintenance. So, if you disable the alert rule, you will miss valid alerts on the remaining resources covered by that rule.

• You may have many alert rules that cover the resource. Updating all
  of them is time consuming and error prone.

• You might have some alerts that are not created by an alert rule at
  all. In all these cases, an alert processing rule provides an easy
  way to achieve the notification suppression goal.

You can add your Suppression alert rule to disable the notification. I have disabled the Email Notification on weekends which follows
