I doubt ads alone would drive people away. Most free apps have them and
people are used to it. As long as you have the "pay to get rid of them
option" it's up to the user to decide if they'd rather deal with them or
not.
Now if you released an single app with ads and no alternative, that might
annoy the people that would pay to get rid of them.
IMO, ads are a perfectly good way to annoy people to throw a few bucks your
way to get rid of them.

Nope - you'd waste the money on bus fare to get there. =P

IDK, but this is fairly straighforward - pseudocode:
if (!sharepreference.getBoolean("showed eula?", false))
{
showEULA();
sharedpreference.setBoolean("showed eula?", true);
}
