Answer 1

NetBeans can resume individual threads. While in debug mode, you can resume a thread from the left thread list by pressing a small button shaped like Play (►) near the thread.

Answer 2

Currently there's no such possibility because it may lead to deadlocks. You may vote for IDEA-43728 though.

Answer 3

This feature was added in IntelliJ 16 (the issue CrazyCoder referenced in his answer was resolved)
