For the bowl problem, get two bowls for each cat so one doesn't have to fight the other. For the curtains, get a spray that has a citrus smell like oranges or lemons and spray that on the curtains. Cats hate the smell of citrus and will stay far away from them, they also hate the smell of vinegar. So do a 2:1 ratio of water to vinegar and spray that on the curtains. They also hate this scent called Bitter Apple Spray which is sold at Walmart for about 5 dollars and repells them.

In addition to using bitter non-toxic sprays to prevent chewing, you can also use Sticky Paws (or just double sided tape). If you put it on your curtains and anything else he likes to scratch for a while, he will associate the scratching with that unpleasant sticky feeling and stick to his scratching post. The two bowl suggestion is also great, it's really a dominance issue so if they have nothing to fight over it becomes a non-issue.
