It should be dynamic. Are you sure? Note that it takes you to the “All 
Messages” folder (if you don't hold down ⌥) which might make a 
difference if you have configured this mailbox differently.

Yes. Here is the “recipe” for the Inbox:

1. Select the Inbox.
2. Make sure no messages are selected (⌘-click any selected messages).
3. Click the Thread button.
4. Click the “Save” button to store the result as a smart mailbox.

This mailbox should show you the Inbox including any other messages in 
the same threads.

If you edit the smart mailbox you'll see that the core of it is this 
condition:

If you edit the resulting smart mailbox then you might want to base it 
on Inbox+Sent instead of All Messages (for efficiency). (In the 
Mailboxes pane of the mailbox editor.)

In the message viewer? That is known (to me) as a conversation view. 
This is currently not possible in MailMate.
