Hiding a column:

column.setWidth(0);
column.setResizeable(false);

Triggering a menue:
Right clicks on a table headers are not recognized, a workaround could 
be e.g. STRG+left klick. To get the STRG modifier you have to add a 
filter to the display. The keymasks of the SelectionEvents for the 
tableHeader seem to be buggy.
