I am not 100% sure what you want here but any time you start GNOME's
nm-connection-editor it will prompt the user to configure anything,
including wireless credentials.

I think yes.

If this wireless connection is the only one configured and available
then you do not even need to direct NM to it; it should automatically
fallback to the only one available.

Which would do what?

Sorry, I should've explained that I'm writing an application and I'm interfacing with NetworkManager through dbus.
I want my application to get the list of wireless networks from NetworkManager and allow the user to select it and
then tell NetworkManager to connect to the network.  What I was hoping I could do was to somehow tell nm-applet,
from my application, to prompt the user for security credentials.  Then I can tell NetworkManager to use the new connection.
