Is there a way that when I receive a message and I get the blinking icon on my dock to do a keyboard shortcut to bring up the chat window? It's driving me nuts to move my cursor down to retrieve the chat.

Thanks!
 
I just command-tab to Adium; but you could change the settings so the message window is brought to the front when you receive a message.
 
Try ctrl-f3 and then right or left arrow (depending how you have your dock set up) to the app then return.
This only works if the "Move focus to Dock" option is turned on under System Preferences ->KB & mouse-> KB shortcuts.
It's a bit clunky, but I'm sure you can modify it if you want to.
