Or perhaps not. It's very case-dependent.

I have F12 bound to 'make-frame-command (also C-x52), which opens the buffer I'm in into a new frame – but also leaves it in the previous frame/window.

But you could bound it to 'tear-off-window instead. This would move the buffer to a new frame and close its window in the previous frame (only if there are also other windows there).

Yes, even within the same frame. Very useful for example when you have to compare the beginning and end of a long file.

This I don't know how to do right now. But I'm sure that it can be achieved, worst case by defining some lisp function. 'kill-buffer-and-window only eliminates one of the windows showing the buffer; if there are others, they will stay but will show other buffers.
