1. No, you can't lock it but keep it open. When you right click on a word and choose Look up..... the dictionary window will automatically come to the front. The dictionary and thesaurus is a Snow Leopard feature and not specific for Pages. In Pages it is best to keep it opened as it can't search for a word at the first attempt when opening the window.
2. No there isn't a quicker way originally. You could try to create your own hot keys as you can for all option in a menu. Go to System preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard shortcuts (or similar) > Applications. Select. Click on the plus sign to add a new shortcut. Choose All applications or choose Pages. Write the menu option exactly as it is in the menu. Assign the keys for it. Click on add. Try it out!
I forgot to say you have to select the whole word first before using you shortcut.
