Help S3 blue tab / messaging

A few things are really starting to annoy me with my S3. Can anybody help before i throw it through the window?

1. I've got a blue tab on the side of my screen. I've moved it up down, across to the other side, and to the bottom and no matter where it is, it's in the way of something. You press the tab and it has shortcuts. Can i disable this as all my shortcuts are on my home screen and it's just a waste?

2. My text messaging icon says i've got 1 unread message to read ALL THE TIME. I've deleted every message in there, i've read them all and that number 1 is still there. I could have 3 unread text messages and there is still a 1 next to the envelope.

Please can somebody give me some advice. It's making me want to swap phones and i've only had this phone since October.

Thank you in advance x
 
Is the blue button the "Multi window" function by any chance. If so, tap and hold the "back" button to get rid of it (and then do the same if you want to get it back).

Can't help with the second problem unfortunately.
