I have an old 1st generation iPad, which I want to recycle as a family photo/info display. I plan to create a website with the required info and want to have the iPad to display just that site, refreshing periodically.
Now, in it's safari browser, it always displays the top navigation bar.
In Safari 10.0.1 on macOS Sierra it is quite simple - you have to uncheck View > Always Show Toolbar in Full Screen to hide the toolbar.
Sadly, unless you have a computer with that accounts signed version of the old Facebook app, you can't get the old version from the iTunes Store.
Deleting the app should have removed all preferences, so you can only make sure the crashes are being reported to Apple and hope the app is popular enough to get a bug fix rapidly.
To restore the old app from a computer, be sure to delete the faulty app before connecting the iPad to the computer. Then add the Facebook app from the computer being careful to not update it there.

Yes, there's a possibility of full screen mode by adding the web site to the Home Screen.
You do that by opening the web site in the Safari browser. Then click the "arrow out of the box" icon just to left of the address line. In the menu that pops up, click "Add to Home Screen".
Now'll you see an icon on the home screen for the web site. Click that and it should open up in full screen!
If it opens up, but still showing the bar at the top, you might need to add the following meta tag to your web site's code:
