Well, actually.... You can, in a couple of different ways.
OP, you have the option to end an auction and sell to the current highest bidder (meaning the current price the auction is sitting at), if you really want to - you can see who the current highest bidder is on your own auction and take a look at the their FB if you want to try and screen the bidders, just keep in mind a few things - members who are buyers only can only ever receive positive feedback, so a feedback profile is not exactly the most accurate reflection of a buyer's behaviour (though their feedback left for others can often tell you a few things, and sometimes you will find non-positive comments under positive feedback).
Plus, if you end an auction early you're potentially missing out on getting the highest price, because many people will not bid until the last few minutes - in other words, there's no guarantee that a good-looking buyer (by which I mean their feedback profile, not their physical appearance :D) will result in a smoother transaction for you, so you are generally better off letting auctions run their course and going for the best price.
If you look at the FB profiles of any bidders on your auction, you can also cancel their bids and block them from bidding again by placing their user ID on your blocked bidder list: http://pages.ebay.com.au/services/buyandsell/biddermanagement.html

Let the auction finish, the highest bidder will win, and you will be committed to sending the item to the winning bidder. You can't interefere with the auction process.

You can't. You will, at this late stage have to let the Auction runs its course. If you are worried about a "New Buyer" well, we all have to start sometime. They may be great. Hope all goes well for you.

Yes.
Even if an auction ends earlier than scheduled, if you are the highest bidder at the time it is yours.
