I think what you are describing is called "lip licking" - dogs do it to show submission or nervousness. Yawning a lot means they are feeling conflicted.

Do you mean they are panting? Mean they are thirsty or after a run they're like human, grasping for air to breath.
When dog is so heated that it is panting severely, you should only let it have a few laps of water. Water in the stomach does not cool the dog, you just need to keep the mouth wet so the panting is more effective. Do not worry about hydration until the temp has started down. A dog panting heavily, taking in large amounts of water is a risk of bloat. Due to the heavy panting, they will swallow air, mixed with a large amount of water and they can bloat. Once the temp is going down and panting has slowed to more normal panting, then allow water. The dog will rehydrate itself after temp is normal. If the dog has a serious problem and even though you have the temp normal, get the dog to a vet, as it can still need IV fluids and some medication.

When a dog is happy or wants to play, he might pant with lips relaxed, covering the teeth and with what sometimes appears to be a happy expression (it might appear as a smile to some observers)

Do you mean like trying to catch a fly that's not there, just staring at nothing?
This is a form of a mild seizure. Check the net for info

the mouth is deeper, it is like they are trying to work somthing at the back of the throat forward enough to get a grip on it or be able to swallow it, something "stuck in their craw"
