Yes, this is one of the biggest annoying things about OS X. The window resizing is limited to the bottom right corner of the window, so if the patch is tall enough to have the bottom off screen, you're screwed without editing the file in a text editor. AAAAARRRRRRGGGGG!!!!
No. Maximize the patch using the green button. This normally brings the bottom-right corner into the screen.
You're screwed if the window position makes the title bar offscreen, and then you have to edit the .pd file, or edit pd.tk so that it never sets window positions (just delete the line that says "wm geometry").
On Linux you normally have some better shortcuts, but this only works if *some* part of the window is on-screen. Else you may be able to right-click on the dock entry (at least KDE does it; I don't have GNOME at hand so I can't try)
Pd could be fixed in order to prevent offscreen windows. This can be done by replacing the aforementioned "wm geometry" line by something else which I'll leave as an exercise to the reader...:)
