If I go to an auto parts store, and buy a new power window motor for $40 and pay the extra $20 for a core charge then later when I've replace it and bring my old power window motor to the auto store will I get a refund on that $20 core charge that I paid previously?

You will have to pay the $600 and get $200 when you return the old part. The core charge is used to keep a supply of rebuilt parts in stock so that you are not having to buy a factory built part each and every time. The rebuilt parts are good but will not carry the same warranty as factory built.

That's how it works. It is done on parts that can be taken apart and rebuilt back to spec. Obviously they need the core to rebuild it, and if they simply sell you one there's nothing for them to rebuild. Thus, the "core charge", to "encourage" you to bring the core back.
Some places may even inspect the core's condition and only give you a portion of the core charge if the condition is really bad, or even NOTHING if the core is not usable, but usually not for something that cheap. It may happen on transmission or engine cores.

Yes, a core charges is like a down payment. Once you return your older motor, you get your $20 back. You can also bring in your motor at the time of purchase and not have to pay the $20.

Yes. They do that to make sure you bring the old part back to be recycled.
