David, gave you the correct answer. If you have a tracking device installed in your laptop yes then you can find you PC.

No, impossible to track by MAC address.
If you have the serial number of the laptop, contact the manufacturer Support line and let them know that it's been stolen (they'll have the serial number if you've contacted them in the past).
Then, if the thief or the person he sells it to ever contacts support, the agent will get an Alert that it was previously stolen and will try to get details from the caller. This happened several times when I worked on support for IBM a few years back and it might help.
