Spray bottle with ammonia water in it. It should be one you can focus so you can get them from a distance. Get several so they can be where you are when you need them. You don't want the cat to see you going for the bottle; you want it at hand when it's needed.
This is only useful if you're there when the cat does the bad thing.
WRT the clawing furniture, the scratching post or board are worth a try. My cat likes a sissel(sp?) rope scratching board, not a carpetted one. Try leaving them on the floor or hanging them on a doorknob, as some cats prefer one or the other orientation. My current cat will claw the board if she's got one. They last around 6 months before they start coming apart.
