I just added a map of the traps to this article (reproduced here).

As it says, the only disarmable traps are the two Lightning Bolt ones, and the only detectible traps are the Lightning Bolts and the emblem in the center. The rest are not visible let alone disarmable. Battle Horrors are summoned when party members step into those areas but do not appear if the party member is invisible, it's like it's simulating that they're hiding in the room and attack when they see you.

The ones at the altar are special, they are set off ONLY by NPCs wandering over them...including the bats all around the room. This is why sometimes you're hit by Webs and Stinking Clouds seemingly at random. One thing you might be able to do is stand just in range where you can see the area where the traps are, and wait for bats to cross them so you get hit by them,and then they'll be used up and you can start the fight without worrying about them.
