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.
