I'd like to add a radio button input that can turn on or turn off auto-refresh. Is there a way to do this?

The 6.5 release has new support for these capabilities it is also documented in the latest 6.X dashboard examples app:

https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1603/

Notes from the app: New example "Search Refresh and Refresh Display" to leverage the new element refresh behavior support in dashboards (new feature in Splunk 6.5)

Okay I took a stab at it, but this doesn't appear to be working:
