For (1), I think what you want is

   (write geometry   <file>  <object>  self)

The "self" means to write just the bare object, without geomview's idea of its
transform.  You'll see a transform only if you defined the object with one, so
    (geometry fred { INST transform { ... } geom { MESH ... } })
    (write geometry file  fred  self)

will yield an INST, but

    (geometry fred { MESH ... })
    (xform-set fred { ... })
    (write geometry  file  fred  self)

will just yield a MESH.
