Pausing should be in the hand of the active player.
Depending on the type of game you might or might not want to allow the player to quit during someone else's turn.
It helps in notifying the current person if he needs to change his strategy based on that decision, rather than taking all the measures only to find out that his target quit.
However, if you ...

Only the currently active player should be able to pause the game, to prevent any other people interfering with their turn.
If quitting brings up a menu that can interrupt the player whose turn it is, then only the currently active player should be able to quit the game. If that isn't the case, then any player should be able to quit the game.

I would say the controller of the currently active player - all of the other players are 'paused' anyway.

Use tabs if both of these are true:
the list is always only going to be short (say 3 items long)
the typical user will regularly switch between options
Use a dropdown if any of these are true:
the list is either long or is likely to need more options in the future. Tabs simply don't work when you have many tabs to show at the same time and not a lot ...

Using Tab Order is great help for experienced users, since it speeds up the (often boring) task of filling in a form of any kind. There are forms for everything from making your yearly Tax Submission to the government agency, to the little sign in form of username/password. Using keyboard only controls makes the user experience better and your users will ...
