I developed quite extensive alpha channel support early last year, but
it wasn't included in the last Microwindows release. It doesn't support
translucent window backgrounds though. If you want to have a look at my
alpha channel code, you can get a copy of my tree (which I haven't
worked on for months) from:

The nbreaker game that's included is probably the best example of what
the alpha channel code can do (you'll need to enable PNG image support
in Nano-X for it to work properly though).

Yes, if you set HAVE_FREETYPE_SUPPORT = Y in the config file.

If it doesn't work, you're not hitting it with a big enough hammer
