You can exclude selected stuff from any agenda view using
`org-agenda-skip-function'
For example (in a customize buffer) for org-agenda-custom-commands:
Org Agenda Custom Commands: [Hide Value]
[INS] [DEL] Choice: [Value Menu] Single command:
Key: a
Choice: [Value Menu] Agenda
Match:
Local options:
[INS] [DEL] List:
Option: org-agenda-skip-function
Value: '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'regexp
"\\*+[ ]+WAITING")
[INS] [DEL] List:
Option: org-agenda-overriding-header
Value: "Agenda without the WAITING entries"
[INS]
[ ] Export:
[INS]

Not currently. The "T" key shows the tags in the echo area, though.
