I am new to MacOS and this maybe standard behaviour when moving windows between monitors.

  1. I cannot drag maximised windows between monitors by left-clicking and dragging the window menu bar. I have to click window's green button then I can drag the window between monitors. Is this standard behaviour? Is there any way to drag a maximized window without first clicking on the green button?

  2. When I drag a window between monitors and the target monitor has one or more maximized windows, the dragged window is dragged under the maximized window. Again I have to have no windows maximized on the target monitor to drag a window on top of the open windows on the target. Is there a setting in MacOS where when I drag a window from one monitor to another monitor, the dragged window is automatically placed on top of all other windows on the target? This is the behaviour in Windows(TM).

You are describing a full-screen window, not a maximized window. Full-screen windows are always on top.

If you want to be able to layer windows, do not full-screen them.

You can option-click the green control to maximize a window.
