No, they are not optional, they are part of the picture.

If you can see them on your U.S. machine, then they can't be turned
off. The only subtitles that can be turned on and off are closed
captioning and LD-G. But only certain Japanese players have the
ability to view LD-G captioning.

No, because it's part of the video. Laserdiscs do not have an Alpha
channel for subs in the way that DVDs do.
