No, you can pin an APP to all windows, but not a specific window. However, Actiity monitor only has one window, so that should be fine. > 4.

Full screen apps with multiple documents open (like Pages, for example) are multiple full screen ‘desktops’, however, you cannot group by desktop. > Wishlist: > 5.
