No, they cannot be.

If a patient is "coding", which means they require resuscitation, the family will be told to leave the room. Refusal will result in the calling of security or a nearby police officer, whichever is nearest.

The reason family cannot stay in a room while a patient is being resuscitated is because aside from being extremely stressful to see, the family will be in the way. They would be crying and yelling (so the doctors can't hear each other clearly) and trying to get to the patient (getting in the way of the doctors, tripping on equipment), which will just slow down the doctors and lower the patient's chance of survival.

Why are dying patient's in a hospital bed moved next to the window?

In a semi-private room, it may provide for more privacy (the family of the roommate does not have to "pass by" the dying patient to get to their loved one). In a private room, I have no idea why this would be done! I have heard of opening windows to let the patient's "spirit out" (a Native American custom), but I have never heard of moving a dying patient closer to the window in a private room.
