Yeah, those answers weren't incredibly helpful in technical terms. The problem for you is that what you want is actually very, very difficult to achieve, if indeed it is possible, and this is exactly because, for the most part, the only reason to do this kind of thing is for sinister reasons (e.g. phishing). For this reason, and also because website owners just don't tend to like it when you surround their stuff with your stuff (for a number of reasons), whatever solution you come up with will probably be worked around.
As I understand things, you've got two ways to do this. Either client-side or server-side. Client side would be an iframe, for example. I use this on my website, http://minutes.at http://minutes.at, which just sticks a timer bar on top of any website, by sticking the website in an iframe. It's simple and it usually works, but as you say there are the occasional navigational problems.
Now, for server-side stuff, that's where you've got problems. It might work better - you could just take the entire website code and stick it in your own - but that's where you really do enter legal-problem territory.
You shouldn't mind people giving you advice - they are actually trying to help you avoid getting sued. The reason you found no technical help, though, is probably because what you want is going to be more or less impossible to achieve. You got no answers, perhaps, because there are no answers.
Perhaps if you offered a bit more information about what you hoped to achieve, someone might be able to suggest a way of doing it.
