The Tcl scripting language is documented here:
http://www.tcl.tk
The ParaView session files are basically scripts that drive C++ classes
that have been wrapped into Tcl. Only a minimal part of ParaView's
classes needed to drive the GUI has been wrapped. It is not really
meant to be an easy-to-use language right now. The only "programs"
written by hand are for running the tests when it it built. As far as
the command list, you'll have to refer to the documentation of the
classes that can be driven through Tcl, like this one:
http://www.paraview.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkPVSource.html
All those variables like $kw(vtkTemp4) are just a simple means to
produce unique object names when dumping sessions. If you write your
own files they can be replaced with more descriptive Tcl variable names.
