For 1, have you considered running some browser inside a VMWare session? If you get the free VMWare Player and download their browser appliance, that'll give you a completely guaranteed no-stored-data setup (as soon as you close the appliance, ALL data that it's saved will be wiped out - obviously if you want to download a file to your real hard drive, you'll need to follow VMWare's specific rules for sharing files between appliance and computer).
For 2, any modern browser will do. But this cuts out options like HTMLayout.
3 and 4 kinda cut out most modern browsers though. Sorry.
Chrome is great at point 3, fails point 4, passes point 2, but probably fails 1.
Opera passes 2, is reasonably alright at 3, fails 4, but probably passes 1.
I don't know of anything that passes all four. Good luck... if you find one that does, let us all know, because I think that browser would be ideal for a lot of people.
