With a vertical split (C-x 3), regardless of which buffer I am in, C-c a opens the agenda on the right window, pushing my org file into the left window.
Is it possible to have the agenda open into the left window, rather than the right? If yes, how?

I like my Agenda to pop up in the right window, but I made a little modification that makes it pop in the left:
(defun my-org-agenda ()
(interactive)
(split-window-right)
(let ((org-agenda-window-setup 'current-window))
(org-agenda nil "c")))
Note that I like to display my custom "c" option by default, but you can remove nil and "c" if you just want the menu.
org-agenda-window-setupwithin the recognized available options and just live within those limits; (2) modify the functionorg-agenda-prepare-window, but most people (for whatever the reasons) cringe at the thought of touching a sacred/holy built-in function; (3) add adisplay-buffer-alistentry to try and trump the behavior oforg-switch-to-buffer-other-windowwhen the aforementioned variable has the value of'other-window; (4) there is another variable that is modifiable to affect the display-buffer family of functions, special ..org-switch-to-buffer-other-windowusesorg-no-popupsandswitch-to-buffer-other-window. In the version oforg-modethat I examined, thedisplay-buffer-alistis temporarily let-bound tonilbyorg-no-popups-- thus, modifying thedisplay-buffer-alistwould not work in my case.org-no-popusruns a test to let-bindpop-up-frames display-buffer-alistorpop-up-frames special-display-buffer-names special-display-regexps special-display-function-- so depending upon the outcome of the test, some of those variables can be used.
