Yes, it's possible.

Click on playing tracks panel header> select "Track with thumbnail"> then open "Customize Panel"
Select "Don't show thumbnails" option
For the second field for displayed fields, select a virtual tag instead of <Artist> tag
which has the the following formula that will show artist only when it differs from album artist

Code
$If(<Album Artist>=<Artist>,,<Artist>)

The other two options are large/medium thumbnails.
If you still can't find it, post a screenshot of your "Customize Panel" dialog for Track with Thumbnail layout.

Again, use a virtual tag:

Code
<Track#>. <Title>
