There are in fact two ways to do this.

I recommend you create a file named .textmate_init in your project  
folder and let it contain:

     export TM_LATEX_COMPILER=«whatever»

The other way is to have this in the project file, see [1].

By default it does not close the window on errors. Are you using an  
external previewer? Did you change some of the default options? Or  
maybe you’re referring to warnings?

You can set TM_LATEX_ERRLVL to 0 to always have the window stay.
