Yes. (I haven't done it; that's how you *would* do it.)

That's one way (_WM_TRANSIENT_FOR). There are other ways, including
manually telling xmonad to float it (by mod-dragging), or writing some
rules based on other window properties. See
  http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad/XMonad-ManageHook.html
for the EDSL API docs and
  http://xmonad.org/xmonad-docs/xmonad-contrib/XMonad-Doc-Configuring.html
for general information on configuring xmonad. If that's too technical,
look at the example configs on the wiki.
