More or less that is what is done by the export modules (which do PovRay, 
VRML... but not images)

Jmol used to export to PDF (not sure if it still does) but I think that was a

No, but you could write a script in your own page that would do it at the click 
of a button.

That's where the "write image at chosen resolution" fills the gap. No need to 
have a big window.

Yes, the wiki runs independently, you sign up as a new user and you can 
edit.
