If it fails, you may be unable to cancel the operation.  I've had to 
kill ParaView when a script went into an infinite loop.

No that I know of.  If you have three "stages" to your algorithm you 
could create one programmable source and two programmable filters.  Then 
you could inspect intermediary data before moving on.

Not that I know of.  Would a multi-block dataset work?
