Let's say on top of each window showing the buffer.

Right.

Right.

Emacs windows are "nested" by default. That is, splitting a window
makes a new internal window unless such a window exists already and
can be reused.

In this (and in any related case) set the 'no-other-window' parameter
of the window that you do not want to select. 'window-in-direction'
which should be called by 'windmove-up' respects that.

Do I understand correctly that you want a tabbar for each window? In
that case I would suggest making an atomic window (section 28.20
Atomic Windows of the Elisp manual). For how to accomplish that I
attach my old win-tabs.el. (I plan to post a newer version of this
together with one for frame-tabs.el on GNU ELPA - for the moment
please live with some of its behavioral glitches.)
