I know that it's possible, but I've no idea how. The documentation that
comes with FrameMaker for Unix should be able to tell you more.

If I remember correctly, all issues need to be resolved beforehand, or
Frame won't generate a PDF. So you must be able to do 'Update Book'
without getting any error messages before starting the script.

Depends on the image. 
- Vector graphics should be resizable without any loss of quality.
- Raster/pixel graphics: when you zoom in it's inevitable that the
individual pixels become visible. If this is the issue, you need
better-quality images to begin with. 
Also, the Distiller settings can degrade picture quality. Check the
compression options in the Distiller job options.
