I've only way I've ever done it visually is from the Class Browser. When you do it that way, the naming would be automatic. I've dynamically added objects to a form with thisform.AddObject(), but you have to choose the object name that way.

You'll have to put some sort of transparent shape over the object to trap the click, and pass the information down to the container itself. I've never tried doing that through the shape on top for drag/drop, but I guess it could be done. Maybe you can do it in each of the objects in the container to pass the click down to the container.

I don't know, I've never tried that. I'd think you have to capture the MouseDown on the other objects and then you could manually start the drag for the container. I don't think setting focus will buy you anything.
