1. Yes, you can pass a node label parameter with NodeLabel Parameter Plugin.

2. Yes, you can define parameters, as described, in Parameterized Builds and then use it in your script as an environment variable:

The parameter is available as environment parameters. So e.g. a shell ($FOO, %FOO%) or Ant ( ${env.FOO} ) can access these values.

3. This is not exactly a return value, but you can pass any parameter (with its value) to the downstream job with Parameterized Trigger Plugin.
