1: Go to the Command Line, and type in: -movie_cam

So you end up with this:

"C:\Program Files\Activision\Rome - Total War\RomeTW.exe" -movie_cam

To use the movie cam, just load a replay from a custom battle (remember it only works with custom and online battles). Once loaded, you will notice the movie cam is enabled when you see the blue text and all. Then play a custom battle (only works in custom). When the battle is over, save the replay. Next go to the main menu, load, load battle replay. When you load it, the movie_cam will be enabled.

The controls are all on the num pad

7 -zooms in***
9- zooms out
8 - foreward
5- foreward
4 - rotate left
6- rotate right
1 - strafe left
3- strafe right
2- backward
enter – plays **
p - pause
space- removes text and pauses
num lock - removes blue line

2: Don´t think it´s possible.

2. You can have one or the other but not both, either you see the whole map, with all units visible or you don't see the whole map and only those units you see are visible.

If you just want to see what the mini-map is like without seeing any armies, then go to a remote area of the map eg. the far north-east steppes and remove the fow there,

Even if you toggle fow off you will not see armies that are 'hidden' and are awaiting to ambush a passer by....

If you do movie cam with a laptop (which doesn't have a numpad), I think the letters on the right of the keyboard control things...play around a bit with em.
