Answer 1

You can achieve it by 'Image Border Wizard' for DialogContentPane style.

Follow these steps

1. Create an image that has your required borders and some empty area in the center.
2. Open your '.res' file in Resource Editor, under your active theme create a new style say MyDialogContenPane for unselected state. Make sure you derive this new style from DialogContentPane's unselected state, you can do this by going to 'derive' tab and selecting 'DialogContentPane' in the combo-box.
3. With this style's window open move to 'border' tab and click the 'Image Border Wizard' button to open a new window. Under the tab 'Create Image' select radio button 'Use A File', choose the image file created in #1 in this file dialog. Move to tab 'Cut Image' adjust the guides on the image and move to tab 'Apply To', here you select the listed component 'MyDialogContentPane' and hit 'Generate' button and close this window. The new border can be previewed in the style window.

NOTE: If you want this new border to be done for all the dialogs than instead of creating new style 'MyDialogContentPane' you reuse the 'DialogContentPane' style with the above steps.
