Several of the tools will display basic usage information if you invoke 
them from a command prompt with just "/h" or "-h". This is true of both 
'nasl' which is used to launch a single plugin or 'NessusCmd', which 
launches a scan policy.

While neither supports this outright, you *should* be able to do this in 
your script if you move / rename the directory in which results are 
written after each scan. I haven't tried it, though.

Yes, it's described in the Nessus Installation Guide 
(http://www.nessus.org/documentation/nessus_3.0_installation_guide.pdf), 
starting on page 39. [You'll use build.exe rather than updatecmd.exe.]
