You cannot. XSD can only use exceptions to report errors. You may want
to take a look at XSD/e which was especially designed for mobile and
embedded projects and allows you to disable the use of exceptions.

No, XSD does not provide this functionality. What you may want to do
is save to a temporary file and then rename it to the actual file as
an atomic operations.

Yes, you can use the --cxx-epilogue option to add the include automatically:

--cxx-epilogue "#include \"stdafx.h\""
