When you right on the tab header, there is an option there that says "Open in a New Window." This option can likewise be achieved when you left click on the tab header and drag it downward. When chosen (or done), and as a matter of course, the tab opens in a new window.

Sometimes by movement in between tabs, I will accidentally open a tab in a new window, separating it from the other related tabs I have already open. How do I restore or revert that new window back to tab form?

You can drag a tab back from that new window onto the tab bar of another window in the position where you want it. If that makes a window empty then that window is closed automatically.

Thanks for the reply!

Your answer worked only when I opened a new tab in the new window; that was when I can drag the tab from the new to the old one. However, when I have no tabs open other than that which I opened in a new window, I cannot drag it back.

Nevertheless your solution was great! Thank you!
