[Q] Disabling soft and hard power/reset in android

Hm u mean resetting like holding down power button for force restart? This can't be aborted by an app, as it just shuts down with i call it 'brute force'. So it will shut your activity down as well.
But for the normal power off via the menu, i could imagine you could prevent that by letting the phone do massive cpu operations, as if my old phone had a really hard lag, the power off via power menu didn't work. But it really must be some massive massive task, as it has to make the whole phone lag terribly and this must be done in the first half second after giving the commamd to shut down... So i dont think this is really to implement without blocking the command on root level

You can try to show an Window via WindowManager to hide the Dialog which is shown when you long press your power button.. Maybe it work.
But normally you can't do that. If you do too much CPU work Android will just force close your App with that ANR Message (App Not Responsing)

I'd imagine that anti theft solutions implement something similar to locking down a phone until a release code is supplied. What's the point of geolocating it if a thief can just turn it off?

No, antitheft solutions only prevent the thief to access the phone, but they dont pervent it from being shut down

I think that wont work neither as the dialog is shown on top of everything, even on top of the window you try to open

Hm yeah should work
You obviously will need root as you are changing system files.
