1) You can start emulator with following command line:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /name "Emulator WVGA 512MB.username"

where username is your windows username.

2 & 3) You can deploy/run/delete apps using solution described in JustinAngel's answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13429709/2087252 .

To make it work you'll need to reference following dlls from your project:

Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.Interface.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.MultiTargeting.Connectivity.dll
