When you start up Warcraft 3, does it give you an options window first, where you can set video settings? If so, check for windowed mode there. If not, check the video settings once you are inside the game to see if that will let you run it windowed.

Try command "m", seems to work for me while playing reign of chaos and WOW.

Sorry meant to say hold the apple button next to the space bar and then "m", should minimize the screen and get you to desktop. Press the green dot on the window to go back to full screen mode.
