Stop thinking of a web application in terms of desktop application. You
cannot prevent users from navigation, abnormal exit (like click on [x]
w/o exiting from the session) or copy/print current code.

Adjust your solution for the *web application* logic (state snapshots,
cookies).

Do not expose any security sensitive data on the client-side.

Provide a copyright notice (just don't go too heavy on it :-)
explaining what user may and what may not do with your data and
interface.

Maybe, but if you think about it a little you would also see a need to
disable the related functionality available through context menus,
keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures and any alternative provided by the
browser or available as an add-on.

You cannot even predict the available navigation and refresh options
available to the user, let alone circumvent all of them. And if it is
really necessary to disable any one method it is equally important to
disable all of them.

I cannot do that, I can help you avoid wasting your time trying, and
recommend that you direct your efforts toward achieving a design that
has no undesirable consequences when the user employs the browser
features available to them, and encourage them to use those features in
an informed manner in the context of your code.

Then more considered an robust logic is called for.
