I can answer for Fluxbox:

1)  I accomplish this by putting the following line in ~/.fluxbox/init:
session.screen0.toolbar.widthPercent: 99
That makes the toolbar take up almost the whole width of the screen, but 
it leaves a little space at each end so you can click on the desktop.

1a) But I hotkey the menu anyway, so I rarely use those corners of the 
desktop.  ~/.fluxbox/keys:
Control Mod1 slash :RootMenu

2)  You can hotkey random programs in the ~/.fluxbox/keys file like this:
Control Mod1 x :Exec /usr/bin/xterm

3)  Not sure about this one.  You can set the toolbar to show all windows
on all desktops.  In that case I believe clicking one will bring you to 
that desktop.  But I prefer to have the toolbar show only the windows on
the current desktop.
