At least the last one you can already do. Use Window/New Window.

Actually, Chris, he does have a point here. I am spoiled with having a
dual monitor setup but not everyone can do that. Having two separate
OneNote windows open with two sets of toolbars, menu bars, title bars,
section tabs, page tabs, and status bars doesn't leave much room for
working on a standard 17" monitor. Having a truly split window with only
one set of all those things being shared between the two halves would be
pretty handy, especially on Tablet PC's where the screen space is really
limited. You could just have the tabs reflect whichever half was
currently active as indicated by the location of the cursor.

In keeping with the note taking purpose of OneNote, I think this would be
useful for note taking. The user could keep one page like the syllabus
available for reference while taking notes on another without having to
switch back and forth.

you can set one to be always on top - not sure how it works to set both to
be always on top.

You can resize the windows to share the screen, and of course navigate in
either one to different parts of your notebook. That lets you type in one
while viewing the other. It's not the perfect split screen view, but we
included this command so that you could do this...

I agree with this as well. Although I have a 1600x1200 screen on my laptop,
keeping two windows open increases the clutter, wheras a solution similar to
the split in Excel would be very useful
