You could drag the sequence into the Viewer. You can play it without opening it there.
As for multiple sequences, you could try ripping the actual editing sequence tab out of the main Timeline Window. That leaves all your "selects" sequences in the main Timeline window while the editing sequence can be somewhere else, or underneath. So you can use APPLE-W to close all the other sequences at once (and re-open them by double-clicking one of them in the Browser), but the editing sequence will stay open because it no longer belongs in that group.
