You may use "S-F5 $".

Yes, put your cursor behind the image, press backspace and edit
the contents. In the mailing list archives or on the Wiki,
you should find more info.

I'm afraid that we do not have much documentation yet.
Best is to look into the sources, which should be quite clean, and

        Help -> Manual -> Customizing TeXmacs

will support graphics primitives, we might improve the scheme.
