  1. Yes. chrome.tabs.create
  2. Yes. chrome.windows.update
  3. Yes. chrome.tabs.update
  4. Yes. chrome.tabs.update
  5. Yes and No. The developer tools cannot be opened by an extension, but you can add panels to the Dev tools using the devtools.* API.

chrome.windows.getAll can be used to get a collection of all Windows. Each Window has a property tabs, which holds properties of to the Tab.
