For the icon... look at WM_SETICON.  You should send this message to the
dialog frame.  (ie from inside the dialog proc, send the message to yourself.)

For the focus problem, are you returning TRUE from WM_INITDLG in your
dialog proc?  Returning TRUE disables the default processing of setting
focus to the first control in your dialog.  If you must return TRUE to
WM_INITDLG, use WinSetFocus to change the focus to a control on the dialog.
If you create the dialog invisible and set the position in your code with
WinSetWindowPos are you specifying SWP_ACTIVATE?
