Nice idea. You'll have to log back in, though, however. But
GnuMed could take you to the most recent patient, yes.

top panel cursor down (or up ? - can't remember)

no cross-session history, though, which can be added fairly
easily

sure

sure

all those are "activate that patient" from a rather free form
SQL query, very useful, shouldn't be hard

yes
