Is there a way to disable the Web GUI for the NCPA agent?

Not, to my knowledge, via the configuration files. However, renaming the templates path is enough to cause the GUI to error out on every request.
In Linux, this path: /usr/local/ncpa/listener/templates
In Windows, this path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nagios\NCPA\listener\templates

So, disabling the listener service would not disable the GUI?

It would, but it would also disable the "active checks" portion of NCPA. From here:
https://www.nagios.org/ncpa/help.php
The NCPA Listener service does the following:
- Serves and handles connections to the web GUI
- Handles external API requests (including those for active checks)
- Provides API for live graphing and top processes
- Provides and "offline" internal API for the NCPA Passive service
If your NCPA setup is only doing passive checks, it would be fine to disable the listener in this case.
