Most of these questions will be answered by changing how you think about the tray:
It is NOT a "multitasking" tray.
It IS a "recently used Apps" tray.
For most of us, many - if not most - of the Apps we will see in the tray do not multitask in the first place, so they are not using power even if they are still in the tray.
I don't know of any way to completely shut down an App that *does* multitask besides deleting it from the recent Apps tray.
