You can open multiple images at once, but not into the same document. There will be a window for each one, and they will have to be dragged into the master image.

In CS3 you can open the files into a "Stack". This is a single file with all the selected files as layers. You can then enlarge the canvas size, enough to get all the images on, and move them around with the Move Tool (check "Auto Select").

File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack…

There may be a script for earlier versions; ask in the scripting forum.

"is there a way to make a fixed selection for the crope tool?"

You can enter specific values in the Width & Height fields.

But what I like even better is to use the controls in the Options Bar to set a fixed size for the Rectangular Marquee.

After making a selection, I go to Image’Trim…
