I could get what you want for the wheel by using this:

(global-set-key (kbd "<mouse-4>") 'scroll-down-command)
(global-set-key (kbd "<mouse-5>") 'scroll-up-command)

Can you confirm this is OK?

About the scrollbar, I do not use it myself (many users of emacs use
"(scroll-bar-mode -1)" in their .emacs and only use keyboard and mouse
wheel), but looking at the code this is more difficult to get the exact
behavior you want. When testing, this seems most of the time to do what
you want, but a few jumps apear from time to time, depending on the
content of the buffer.
