If a player badly misbehaves (for example by refusing to stop shouting) can the Director impose a Penalty or disqualify/defer him without actually warning him of these potential consequences?

He not only can, he almost certainly should.

Technically the Director can only disqualify with the approval of the Tournament Organiser. The Director can suspend a player for the rest of the current session.

If the Director does not suspend the player for the rest of the session can he still decide later with the Tournament Organiser to disqualify him?

Yes. Law 91B. All the Director needs is a reason ("for cause") and the approval of the TO.

The EBU as TO has given authority to the Director to disqualify without further approval.
