You could use a tool like Firebug to inspect the chat window and see its CSS--just right-click to "inspect element".

you'll want to set the div's css properties to position:fixed; bottom:0; right:0; that will place the div relative to bottom right corner. minimization requires javascript, i'd recommend using jQuery, jQuery's basic effects will do a great job at this.
