Points 2 and 4 drive me nuts. For 2 in particular there must be some rationale, but the amount of times I’ve needed to see something behind the dialog, to have to cancel after having navigated the filesystem… Just bonkers.
That sounds like it should be controlled by a modifier key. Like click and drag just moves the current window while ctrl+drag moves the parent window as well and shift+drag moves all windows owned by that same program. Right click to cancel the whole move operation from the start of the click, then allow dynamically switching modes mid-drag.

iirc (gnome) tweaks has a toggle for separating dialogs from parents.
