We don't and haven't ever had a way to do sound only when the sending application is in the background. However, Growl 2.1 will add a ton of power via the new rules scripting system, including potentially this kind of behavior, although I haven't experimented with that kind of determination, but it should be possible. Further, we could add this as an option to the sound action itself, but it wont make it for 2.1, since its in localization, and we don't like adding strings during that unless absolutely necessary.
As for the split tab thing, we had to make changes when we introduced actions to both the backend and UI, and it was decided for better or worse to move sounds out into an action. Growl 2.1 will be improving it so that if you select a sound in the sound action, it will change the name of the action to the sound name, making it easier to know what sound you've selected.
