Answer 1

You have the option that VonC just gave you (which is probably the safest way but you can also go a different rout by just creating a new directory in {Hudson_Home}\jobs (the directory name will be the job name) and copy a modified config.xml in there. The modification will basically just be the SVN URL. You should check out the xml from the job that you are copying. You need to find out how you change the xml file via script, but this is a secondary problem.

Unfortunately, you have to either restart Hudson, or force a reload of the configuration. (visit the page http://:/reload to reload the config).
