How to create hyperlinks, how to invoke javascript functions and how to pass parameters is all covered in this section of the documentation.

Answer 2

Why don't you change your client template to a simple html-element such as an a-element and assing a javascript function to this element which opens your window?
...
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitNbr).Width(150).ClientTemplate("<a id="myId>Unit No.</a>);
...
and then use jquery:
$("#myId").click(function() {
$("#kendoWindow").data("kendoWindow").open();
});

Answer 3

Adjust your template so the links have a css class:
columns.Bound(p => p.UnitNbr).Width(150).ClientTemplate(#Html.ActionLink("#=UnitNbr#", "UnitInspector", new { id = "#=UnitId#" }, new { #class="someclass" }).ToHtmlString()).Title("Unit No.");
Then use jQuery:
$(document).on("click", ".someclass", function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var address = $(this).attr("href");
$("<div/>").kendoWindow({
content: address
}).data("kendoWindow").open();
});
