Finder – How to Copy Paste a File Inside a Folder in List View

Here's the steps I used to do what you're looking for which seem to be working the way you want.

Open Finder and click File > New Smart Folder - or press ⌥⌘N

Then setup as I have in the screenshot below and click 'Save' near the top right.

Then, when the little drop-down menu appears for you to save, select the options like I have below.

Now, you'll get a window left behind like this.

Now, close your new Smart Folder. Then in Finder, open a normal finder window with either File > New Finder Window or ⌘N

Your 'TV' Smart Folder will be listed under the 'Search For' section on the bottom-left if you expand it out, like so

Finder does not have a bar like in the explorer on Windows, but there are some things you can do to achieve similar results.

To have the current path always visible, open a window and go to View > Show Path Bar. This will add a bar to the bottom of your windows which shows the path of the selected file, the same as if you were in search view. You can also Command-Click on the icon at the top of the window to view the path as a menu. As noted by @lhf, copying a file will also copy its path. You can also drag a file from the window or path bar to most places where a file or path is expected, such as open or save dialogs.

To go to a folder based on its path, press Command+Shift+G. This will pop up a box where you can type in a path, and either the current or a new window will open at that path. This also works in open and save dialogs.
