Yes and yes. Simply remove the input and output filenames from your
mapping file. FME will then prompt you for it. You can also supply them
via batch-file parameters.

Not sure about this one, but you can use for example a Counter, a
UUIDGenerator or a GOIDGenerator to generate unique ID's and then simply
write that attribute to Oracle.

Route all your features through the Counter (or... or...) would do the
trick I think.
Hope this helps.
