2.i never want my connection string to be shared in client side.is it possible? 
 
Yes, we can achieve your requirement by using the shared datasource in reports. If you are using the shared datasource in your report then you can pass the credentials at server side as shown in below code example. 

ReportAPIController.cs 
public void OnInitReportOptions(ReportViewerOptions reportOptions) 
            { 
                //reportOption.ReportModel.DataSourceCredentials.Add(new DataSourceCredentials("<pass Datasource name>", "<pass User name>", "<pass password>")); 
                reportOptions.ReportModel.DataSourceCredentials.Add(new DataSourceCredentials("AdventureWorks", "xxxxx", "xxxx")); 
            }

You can able to hide columns in query designer mode for SQL Server only and we don’t have support to hide dataset(table) based on user condition. Please refer the below UG link to hide columns,
