Not now, at least. I did add to the ACTIONS document a mention of this action, 
and 2 others similarly disabled. If there seems to be reasonable willingness to 
use such things and put up with the bloat, then I'll revisit the matter. 
Meantime, anyone who is suitably committed can easily enable the code. IMHO the 
actions have not yet been tested enough to make them selectable via 
make-command options.

Menu ? If you mean the toggle-buttons which by default are in both panes' 
button-bars, then those buttons just toggle display of hidden items in the 
corresponding file-list.

There are lots of scrollbars in the application, only the filelist bars are 
relocatable. That's an option from the very early days of emelFM2. It never 
seemed worthwhile replicating more generally. Not least because, as you 
observe, there are consequential UI effects to be managed, and because to now, 
there's been no public indication that anyone ever changed this option.

That would either slow down the sorting, or double the size of the sorting code 
(for every column). And IIRC there are one or two fairly fundamental things 
that rely on directories (or at least, the "../" item) being at the top of the 
list. I must say I'm not much inclined.
