Yes. You may want to write your Python script in a text file that you can
run in ParaView's Python Shell via the "Run Script" button.

Yes. Do you have your data in numpy arrays? If so, see this series of blog
posts on Numpy and ParaView for more info:

Yes.

programmableSource1 = ProgrammableSource()
programmableSource1.Script = 'import vtk'
programmableSource1.ScriptRequestInformation = ''
programmableSource1.PythonPath = ''

Note that this requires you to write the Python script for the Programmable
Source as a string in your main Python script. Of course, you can also load
it from a file or some other source you may have.
