Create two rc.xml files, one for normal mode and another for xournal mode.   
Uninstall obhotkey and replace xournal-mode.sh with something like the  
following:

> ln -f rc.xournal.xml rc.xml
> openbox --reconfigure

Do something similar for xournal-mode-off.sh.

Yes, easily.  Combine the on/off scripts into a toggler.

Also, please consider removing the ".sh" extension from your executable  
shell scripts.  It is considered poor form.  You wouldn't run  
"openbox-session.sh", for example.

Best of luck with your lectures.
