If you are more comfortable with PyMOL commands, use a .pml file (somewhat like the gnuplot script you mentioned).
If you prefer Python, use a .py file, and import the necessary modules (pymol, cmd from pymol, etc.). You can find working Python scripts that call pymol in many places. To color the atoms, use a selection and issue the color command (cmd.color() function) in the PyMOL script file (Python script file). If you want to move one object relative to another, you can use iterate state (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Iterate_State) to get the coordinates, and use alter state (http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Alter_State) to apply the transformed coordinates. On the other hand, if you want to transform the camera or world coordinates you will need to ask someone else as I am not as familiar with those coordinates as I once was.
