Redirecting program command window data stream

I run a LaTeX-based typesetting package called LyX, which runs in its
own window. I often launch it from a bash shell with the command

$ lyx &

and then continue to use the shell for other things at the same time as
coding in LyX. When LyX does various things like compile PostScript or
PDF documents, however, it sends information about exactly what it's
doing back to the parent bash shell.

I have a few questions about this behaviour.

1) How is it LyX linked to the parent bash window?

2) When I run LyX by clicking on my RedHat logo, then "Run Command..."
then typing "lyx" I obviously don't get any data piped to the parent
command window, because there isn't one. Where does the data go?
Presumably LyX is still sending it. Does it go to some sort of null device?

3) If I opened LyX via "Run Command..." as in 2), and then decided for
some reason I wanted it to pipe its output to a bash window, how could I
do that? If I can't, can I make it pipe to a log file or something?
