If I kill the index process while not using ./index -E, say, as in a power failure or a messed up system that needs to be rebooted, will ./inex -D still create what it needs to so that I can later just restart the index again?

Well, the right answer is "it depends". Really, after such thing happen, you need to run myisamchk on your MySQL database, and index -X1 to check
ASPseek binary database. If index -X1 will tell you something bad, run index -X2 to fix it. In the worst case, you will have to delete and reindex everything from scratch, so having an UPS is always a good idea ;)
