1. New NVT are added weekly to the feed so new vulnerabilities can be detected. 
In some scans some NVTs can fail to detect vulnerabilities because of network 
conditions, problems with a target, etc.
2. I think nobody can help you without some more information about the bug, 
daemon error and OpenVAS version.
3. Some scans can take a lot of time because of network or scan target machine 
problems. Try to understand what is happening. Check processes running at the 
time, use log_whole_attack option in the scan configs.
4. OpenVAS Manager exposes an extensive API using the OMP protocol explained in 
http://openvas.org/protocol-doc.html <http://openvas.org/protocol-doc.html>. I 
see you mailed python developers list there are several clients for several 
languages.
