While not being exactly what you're asking for, try this menu option:

  View --> Diagnostic Mode

Instead of launching a dialog or opening an editor, this will display
the command line in a dialog box.

Not directly yet. Use "Manage" from the Working Tree browser, delete the
file/directory in your file manager and click "Refresh" on the toolbar.

View --> Refresh. It's also on the toolbar and available via the F5
keyboard shortcut.
