"is it possible to spawn things that have a tag, or tag them as they are spawned?"
Many people have asked for this feature, but AFAIK this has not yet been implemented in ZDooM. One way to make this work is to have your "spawanable" item on an inaccesible conveyor belt, with a barrier. Tag the item, and set it up so that the barrier lowers when the item needs to be spawned. It will spawn at your spawn spot and will have the desired tag number.
For inanimate items (such as keys) another, more clumsy way to do it, is to have set up your spawn or map spot, but have one or more short lines running through it. Assign the tag number to the line, so that when the player reaches for the item he/she crosses the line(s), thus triggering the action associated with the tag.
To my knowledge there is no known way to track the player's co-ordinates. If you want an action to be triggered at a certain height, there may be tricks you can use, but none that is based on the player's position.
You may also want to ask these questions on the ZDooM Editing forum.
