I am using Mission Control to help manage my various Desktops. Each time I request a new window for an app, the new window will open in the Desktop where the last instance of app was used. I want the new window to open in the active Desktop. Is this possible?

On a trackpad: slide with 4 fingers up to open Mission Control slide with 4 fingers to the left or right to switch to another 'space'
On a magic mouse: you can dubble tap with 2 fingers ( don't click ) on your mouse to open mission control
But assuming you have a mighty mouse ( your nickname ) you can assign Mission Control to a hot corner. Go to System preferences -> Mission Control -> and press the hot corners button to change or assign the hot corner you want.
Also you might want to check out BetterTouchTool which let you define al sorts of gestures on your magic mouse, normal mouse, touchpad and or keyboard. Assigning them to whatever you want. ( like opening Mission Control )
The only things you can do with them are move them to other desktops, select them from groups to bring them to the forefront, or drag files/copied text into them.

Best Answer
Yes - In the Mission Control preference pane make sure that the "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application" option is unchecked.
Then for the app(s) you want to behave as in your post: right-click their dock icon and under the 'options' menu item select 'Assign to: None'.
