Improved Disarm while unarmed?

Question #1
A character gets Improved Disarm, thinking he can use his empty off-hand to snatch weapons away from an opponent. He doesn't have Improved Unarmed Strike, so does Improved Disarm protect from an attack of opportunity?

Question #2
Let's say the character in example number one has a natural attack that can be used as a secondary weapon (a kobold with its claw attack, for instance). If he keeps one hand free to make a secondary natural attack with (at -5), can that attack be a disarm, sunder, etc?

Yep. It sure looks that way.

Yes. Improved Disarm protects you from the attack of opportunity caused by the disarm attempt.

Well, he can do anything with a natural weapon and an attack action that he can do with a manufactured weapon and an attack action (barring special properties of the weapon/natural weapon).

And Kobolds don't have claw attacks.
