I can't answer all your questions, but I thought I'd hit a few.

Yes, this is really a DOS batch file question.
Setting environment variables in batch files is weird and tricky.
The best thing I ever did though, was get a replacement for the
DOS "set" command.  "ASET" is a wonderful free one I found that
has some good documentation on this.

How about hidden shares?  (e.g.  "\\MACHINE\SHARENAME$")

Not quite.  If you're running Linux, mount the shares in question
and simply use your favorite X file manager.
