Answer 1

pygdbmi is what you want.

With it I was able to reset an embedded target from Python using the following:

from pygdbmi.gdbcontroller import GdbController
if __name__ == '__main__':
    gdbmi = GdbController()
    response = gdbmi.write('b main')
    response = gdbmi.write('target remote localhost:2331')
    response = gdbmi.write('mon reset 0')
    response = gdbmi.write('c')

gdbgui provides a much cooler example.
