I can't really find any reason why a menu should collapse again if I 
click on the same page again. And I also don't know how this could be
achieved with T3.

Using expand all all menu entries will be expanded all the time. And
as you want to do:
2 < .1
also ALL second level menu entries will be expanded. and note that the
above wont work. Use:
2 < temp.nav.1

Why don't just have a simple expanding menu. You click on a menu entry 
and it's sublevel entries get shown. You click again on this menu entry 
and nothing changes cause you clicked on the same link (it would also be
quite confusing for google to have a page with the same URL in 2 
different versions: opened and closed)

In Typo3 a menu is expanded if it's ID is in the actual rootline (an 
array containing the path (all uids) from the rootpage to the actual page)

Also a collapsing menu would be a problem regarding accesability.
