Answer 1

Check out UISpec http://code.google.com/p/uispec/

It's a full automation test framework being developed for the iphone.

Answer 2

The tool you probably want to use for the build and install is Applescript. Something like:

tell application "Xcode" to launch

I'm not pretending that this is a complete answer; there are still a lot of things to work out. But Applescript is going to be one of your key tools I believe.
