Answer 1

You can run, from a terminal window or from within an MSBuild task, the /Applications/MonoDevelop.app/Contents/MacOS/mdtool tool that is supplied with MonoDevelop. E.g.

/Applications/MonoDevelop.app/Contents/MacOS/mdtool -v build -t:Build "-c:Debug|iPhoneSimulator" /path/to/your/app.csproj

That will build the MonoTouch application, including all your steps above and any future feature that will be added.
