A disagreement is a difference of opinion. It has nothing to do with critical reading. You can recognize a book as being well-written or poorly written without agreeing with the ideas themselves. I don't personally like Herman Mellville, but I can recognize why his writing is among the classics.

Critical reading means that you are looking at a work with a critical (i.e. objective) eye. Does the plot flow logically? Do the characters behave in a realistic manner? Does the author use appropriate grammar? Critical reading doesn't just say a book was good or bad, it provides reasons why.

No, critical reading is:

Non-critical reading is satisfied with recognizing what a text says and restating the key remarks.

Critical reading goes two steps further. Having recognized what a text says , it reflects on what the text does by making such remarks. Is it offering examples? Arguing? Appealing for sympathy? Making a contrast to clarify a point? Finally, critical readers then infer what the text, as a whole, means , based on the earlier analysis.

No; it has to do with analyzing and evaluating something.
