Question 1: Look behind the driver's seat close to where the top frame meets the side of the car. The defroster attachment is beneath a small flip up cover.

Questions 2 & 3. Here are the best instructions I've found for replacing the top:

Question 4: The glass needs to be smaller than the plastic window. I guess in theory you could design something that fits in the space of the plastic window and is part glass and part fabric so that the glass part would just drop down. I don't think anyone makes such a product.
