Answers:
1) I don't have any reference scripts, but it wouldn't be too hard to make them... If you do use the ConfigMgr client to run the script, do realize that it would never report its status since the script would shut down the client agent.
2) Pre-installing the client in the image
is supported as long as you you take the appropriate steps to prepare the client for imaging.
See the "How to Install Configuration Manager Clients by Using Computer Imaging" section, as well as the "To prepare the client computer for imaging" section underneath it:

3) To uninstall the client on any device, you can run C:\Windows\CCMSetup\CCMSetup.exe /Uninstall
271) Rather than hand installing the client in the image, consider doing a "Build and Capture" task sequence to create your virtual machine image. This is by far my preferred method, since you are then handling virtual machines as you
would physical instead of having entirely separate processes. The Build and Capture task sequence will take care of generalizing the image and preparing the client before capture.
I hope that helps!
