A:

Do you actually mean the Dock rather than the Sidebar?

 

The Dock is located at the bottom or either side of the screen; the Sidebar is located at the left side of a folder window.

 

To keep the Dock always visible, go to System Preferences > Dock, and uncheck the item "Automatically hide and show the Dock". Note - that is the location of that setting in Yosemite (OS X 10.10); in other OS X versions that setting's location might be slightly different.
