If a process does not create its own windows, then the only way you can
close it down is to use specify CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP when calling
CreateProcess() and then use GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent().  Otherwise, there
is also TerminateProcess(), although it is a brute force termination.

Probably, yes.  I suppose it would depend on how the new process was being
created.
