Actually, I have two problem with using the book(ams) class.

First, I want to have a piece of abstract in my document just before the
content list. But there is no option for this format in book(ams) class. Can
I add abstract to the document manually, and how to do that?

I'm not sure why, but the abstract was explicitly removed from the book(AMS) layout. A book can have an abstract, so we should restore it.

If you want to add it manually, use ERT: Insert>TeX Code, then "\begin{abstract}". Then out of ERT, type what you want. Then at the end, ERT: \end{abstract}.

Second, when ever I compile the lyx book file, all the child document are
automatically opened. How can I avoid that?

You can't, at least not in 1.5. I'm not sure about 1.6. LyX 1.6 (due out Monday) may just open them "in the background".
