Can god stop him interfering? If so, why doesn't he? By allowing the devil to screw with us, he is endorsing the behaviour.

The devil is simply a scapegoat so that God doesn't have to take responsibility for the "bad" parts. But whoever has ultimate power has ultimate responsibility.
God has a herd of evil angels to do his dirty work.  Remember, when Jesus returns the devil tries to help mankind prevent Jesus from killing all life and destroying the Earth.

Psalm 78:49 (KJV) = "He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them."
