Yes, you may tell pvbatch to reload a state file, and to produce a jpg. 
You can then loop over all your files in your python script.

all answers to your questions can be found in the document:

I don't think version 3.2.1 does this very reliably though. I woud 
recommend the cvs version where the pvbatch support is much more reliable.
