Explorer doesn't manage the windows. It's a shell that supplies the Desktop, Task Bar, and a navigation tool for exploring the file systems. It can be replaced, but it is not what gives you the look and feel of the windows themselves nor does it do any management of the windows.

Not that I know of. There are commercial replacements out there, but nothing open source that I know of.

You can get the active window's handle by calling GetForegroundWindow[^]. GetWindowThreadProcessId[^] can get you the ProcessID.
