You can configure a standing penalty to block renewal of overdue items
-- in the staff client, go to Admin | Local Administration | Group
Penalty Thresholds and add a PATRON_EXCEEDS_OVERDUE_COUNT threshold.
Note that when testing this, you will need to open the patron in the
staff client and use the refresh button to generate the penalty.

At present, Evergreen does not support entering purchase requests from
TPAC; they can be entered only via the staff client. I believe that
libraries that have a purchase request link on their TPAC are
typically just linking to an external form.
