Those feats are from Tome of Battle.In fact, I encourage you to pick up that book and consider taking a level or two in a martial adept class. Many of the martial maneuvers evoke the flavor of a crouching tiger, hidden dragon kind of monk.That said, also consider Roundabout Kick (complete warrior), Flying Kick (complete warrior), Sun School (complete warrior tactical feat), and even Weapon Focus: Unarmed Strike. Also take a good look at the grappling feats. Monks are scary when they're grappling, and can effectively remove weak targets (like most spellcasters) from the fight if they can establish a hold. Grappling and pinning also fit in with your "no killing" concept. So, yes, when you get the option, definitely choose Improved Grapple as a bonus feat.Lastly, take a look at the style variants from Unearthed Arcana. Denying Stance and Passive Way, in particular, are pretty great. <a href="http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/unearthedCoreClass.html#monk" target="_blank">http://www.systemreferencedocuments.org/35/sovelior_sage/unearthedCoreClass.html#monk</a>-zPS: take a look at the various vow feats in Book of Righteous Deeds. They might not fit exactly, but you and a good DM can come up with something that fits. For example, Vow of Nonviolence restricts you from doing lethal damage to humanoids, and in return gives you +4 to the save DC of any non-damaging spells you cast. As written, that's useless to you--but maybe you could change it to +4 to the save DC of your Stunning Fist attacks.</blockquote>
