When you call ValidatorEnable(val, enable) it calls a function that looks like this:
(to see it open the WebRescouce.axd script)

function ValidatorEnable(val, enable) {
    val.enabled = (enable != false);
    ValidatorValidate(val);
    ValidatorUpdateIsValid();
}

By just enabling/disabling the validator(line 3), you can achieve what you want.
Also, calling ValidatorEnable which further calls ValidatorUpdateDisplay will immediately validate the associated control and show any validation messages.

According to me rather than using multiple js calling better would be using 

var validatorObject = document.getElementById('<%=ValidatorControl.ClientID%>');
validatorObject.enabled = false;

which simply serve's your purpose of enabling/disabling the validator...
