I would like to use the simple navigation bar that many
sites, including Microsoft's, use near the top of each
web page. The bar looks like homepage>subpage>thispage
and, by listing the parent pages, shows where one is in
the structure of a website. What is this bar called and
can FrontPage generate it automatically?

The common term is "DHTM Menu".

No. Furthermore, because of the complexity of the required
HTML and JavaScript code, few designers create their own.
Third-party products prodominate.

I really don't have a favorite but you can find thousands
by searching Yahoo for "dhtml menu javascript"

The text "homepage>subpage>thispage" looks like a breadcrumb trail, though I
do not recall ever seeing this on Microsoft's site. These are often
constructed using a server-side process, ASP, Perl-CGI, PHP etc., but may be
hard coded within each page. FP cannot generate breadcrumb trails
automatically.
