Two basic methods; first, as a slurry, mixing the rice flour with water and mixing well to eliminate lumps, and as a roux, melting a fat and incorporating the rice flour to make a smooth paste. Either add the slurry gradually to the hot mixture or add the hot mixture slowly to the roux.

No. Baking powder is a rising agent, not a thickening agent.

To thicken gravy mix either flour (plain old white flour) or cornstarch with water so it looks like milk then gradually pour into bubbling gravy, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Simmer for a few minutes to thoroughly cook the starches. Be careful not to double-dip your tasting spoons into the gravy at any point when you're making it - the enzymes in the tiny amounts of saliva that get mixed in will break down the thickening agent and your gravy will never thicken.
