Hi, #1: I think the GeanyVC plugin does exactly that.
Regarding #2: AFAIK, you cannot do that in Geany, but you can start Geany twice, and open a different project in each instance. Other than that, you can open any file regularly with File > Open. Also, I think there is a plugin that adds a full filebrowser to the sidebar, but I haven't used it yet. #3: On the project tab, right-clicking on a folder and selecting Find in Files should work as expected, I use it daily.
