Answer 1

The closest thing I'm aware of is EFLaceView: http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?FlowChartView

Edit: EFLaceView seems to have disappeared, but I have a saved copy: EFLaceView

Edit: Version of EFLaceView on github, with more recent changes than link above.

Unless you can find someone online who is sharing exactly the kind of control you're looking for, you don't have any choice but to build this for yourself. For that, you need to understand Control and Cell Programming, Cocoa Drawing, and create your own custom view.
