Maintain a 'basic-alist' of frame parameters and for the *Backtrace*
buffer use
(cons (cons 'no-other-frame t) basic-alist)
as list of frame parameters.

I don't know but there is one thing I know for sure: Setting up a frame
and using `after-make-frame-functions' to add or a change a parameter is
madness. Creating a frame mostly means to process frame parameters in a
carefully laid out fashion. If, at the end of that, a user decides that
some additional parameter should be processed, this may confuse the hell
out of that process. Never do that - specify all parameters you need at
the time you ask Emacs to create the frame.

See above.

It's just as terrific as `special-display-regexps'.
