No. In Emacs 26 a tooltip's frame has a parameter called 'tooltip'
set to t. But tooltip frames are hardly visible - `frame-list' and
`other-frames' don't show them - so it's unlikely that you've seen
that parameter.

`tooltip-frame-parameters' continues to work as before.

No.

For example, with emacs -Q and the mouse over the right part of the
single modeline you won't see a tooltip because the corresponding
window is already selected, occupies the whole frame and can be
neither removed nor resized.
