If my reply answers your question, please mark this post as answered.

NOTE: If I ask for code, please provide something that I can drop directly into a project and run (including XAML), or an actual application project. I'm trying to help a lot of people, so I don't have time to figure out weird snippets with undefined objects and unknown namespaces.

You can use Popup:

<Popup x:Name="DirectionPopup" IsLightDismissEnabled="True">
            <Popup.ChildTransitions>
                <TransitionCollection>
                    <PaneThemeTransition />
                </TransitionCollection>
            </Popup.ChildTransitions>
            <PutYourDirectionsUserControlHere/>
        </Popup>

 private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!DirectionPopup.IsOpen)
            {              
                DirectionPopup.HorizontalOffset = Window.Current.Bounds.Width - WidthOfYourDirectionControl;
                DirectionPopup.IsOpen = true;
            }
        }

Answer 3

You are looking for Flyout control and as Matt suggests look for https://github.com/timheuer/callisto/wiki/Flyout
