Icons can be removed from the dock when the window is open.

If windows minimize into their icon and you have more than 1 instance open, then clicking on the icon opens the last instance open. It should give you an option - or better yet duplicate the icon

Generally, it works for launching apps. Not window management.

The expose feature is supposed to be used for that. I had a hard time adjusting from Windows for a while, cause I kept going to the dock to do window management. It got a bit better when I started using the three finger swipe up and down (only this app's windows). I still use the dock more than I should due to habit though.
