It sounds like your problem with Mojave is that you have tabs enabled. Open System Preferences>Dock and set "Prefer tabs when opening documents" to "In full screen only".

Gtk apps don't work well in full screen on Macs, I recommend that you avoid using it with GnuCash. You can get almost the same effect by creating a Space for Gnucash, dragging the main window there, and enlarging it to the size of the screen by dragging the edges.

For the finance quote update app you need to drag it out of the dmg to the same folder as Gnucash.app. If it still doesn't work you can open Terminal and run  
  sudo /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-update
