That's weird. The camera's exposure should be pretty much the same - having the ISO change shouldn't make the background flicker, it would only make the picture have slightly more/less noise.

Can you say exactly what settings you're using and maybe post an example video to Youtube?

If it is the auto that's causing the problem and if you're taking full sized photos to turn them into a time lapse, you could just set the camera to ISO 800 and not worry about it. By the time you've reduced the photos to video resolution, any noise from using that iso instead of 100 will be pretty much invisible.

I don't believe that is necessary. The white balance shouldn't be changing that much between frames, but can change dramatically over a sequence of shots (e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLh8pag7DH4 ) and so need to be left to auto-white balance.
