1 - No, you need to open the new window, and close the current one still. But, Field permissions are not view specific, so your scenario of switching a view to hide tabs based on user permission wouldn't work, even if they had this ability. 2 - No, they removed this capability when they changed it from 'Page Holders' to 'Panel Holders'. the reason behind this is that with all of the various panel types, it's not possible to have the same field in the same position on all panels. With that said, it's still possible to modify the form in a Admin Tool/Dev Studio that supports that, and the new server still supports that feature in backwards compatibility, as far as I know...but I honestly can't recommend doing that because it could really cause unexpected behaviors. 3 - Yes, it's an advanced setfield on View fields. You can open a form in a view field, and then the form that's opened can interact with the outside form through event workflow.
Regarding Fred's comments of putting it behind the panel....yes it works...in some ways...it works because of the fact that it's not on ANY of the tabs, and because of the way the screen draw works, it ends up 'bleeding through'...but this is certainly not an approved method, nor is it supported by BMC, and that 'feature' could change at any moment when BMC changes code during a release...so I wouldn't personally rely on it.
