I see. So, take off like I do with my Rapture 40: Advance throttle smoothly, let tail lift, reach airspeed, then rotate.
Yes

I am wondering about whether or not a Citabria will "windmill" like a Cub.
Due to the short tail moment, it's not as susceptible to windmilling, but given a strong enough wind it will

On landing, how about using 1/4 throttle and comming in under power, like on a bipe?
Not necessary since it doesn't have the drag that a Bipe has, Just land it like anything else. But don't let it get TOO slow. It's just that it has a deceiving look - It LOOKS like it should fly slow, but it has a fully-symmetrical wing, so it doesn't provide as much lift as many planes that look like it.

How do you handle a Decathlon in a dead stick?
Just keep the nose down and the speed up and land it like anything else.
