What you can do is use the system called Trap-Neuter-Return. What you do is, if the cat is not hissing or spitting at you, let him inside. Keep the cat in your sight while you call the nearest Animal Shelter. Tell them your problem, and that you want to use this system. they will neuter/spay the cat and release it back into the wild once it is well enough. That way you don't have a cat locked up in an Animal Control place when they were just being curious.

No, actually it does not. Ammonia smells to a cat like a place where cats pee, and will inspire more of the same as the cats try to mark their territory; so it will actually attract cats into your yard. If your question refers to "pooping" rather than "popping", then we should say it seems to have no effect on whether or where cats defecate.

NO. It actually smells like their own pee to them, which makes them think they are supposed to pee on the things that have ammonia on it.

Squirrel hating neighbor has set live traps he was stopped from using kill rat traps so how do you keep the tree squirrels who are only running through his yard safely away from the traps?

It's just about impossible to keep squirrels out of outside areas. There is a squirrel repellent that might work but I don't know how you'd go about getting it in your neighbors yard. If you have access to the traps, spray the area around them with ammonia or fox urine. That will keep them away, supposedly. (But it stinks) Have the same trouble around here sometimes. I love squirrels. Neighbors suck!
