is there an option for opening or closing the graphical interface within the same instance of pd? Something like -nogui but in realtime.
You might mean at runtime. Runtime means "without restarting"; realtime means "without clicks/dropouts". Well, maybe that you'd want it realtime, but that'd be a bit too much to ask.
PureData can't possibly detach/attach clients at runtime. DesireData could in the future, as much of the redesign took this feature into account, but it still isn't implemented. When it does, however, you'll also be able to connect multiple clients.

Certainly not. Instead, you'll do something like:
pd-server -port 12345 pd-client -port 12345 pd-client -port 12345 ...
with as many clients as you want, and the ability to add more and remove them at runtime. DesireData has client-side selection/clipboard/undo mostly because it would help with the multiple clients (among other reasons).
