Yes on both counts.

Not to my knowledge. This could be done by software, but is not implemented, AFAIK. You could (ab)use bookmarks for that purpose, but you have to leave the document and use an external computer to edit the name of the bookmark.

Yes. You can switch among up to five open documents at the moment.
