Ad. 1) This is explicitly mentioned in the doc's just below the description of
:lwindow command.

Ad. 2) When you open quick fix window it is always docked at the bottom, that's
why `:lefta cope` will open it on the left but below.

I didn't understood what do you want to achieve in 3.

Best regards,
Marcin
