Perhaps you could try a dock like Cairo or AWN or Docky and find some way to hide the cinnamon menu bar?

Not sure I understand the question.

If you go to the Menu and right click an application you have the option of sending it to the panel:

perhaps talking about "running" applications?

in win7 on the taskbar it displays an image per app, in mint, its similar to the xp taskbar, has a tab per application running, but displays the name instead of just an icon?
