There are two ways to solve the ploblem (3):

1) use "~", like as:

      [GNUplot] set grid ~plot x ~plot x*x

   but I think this might not suit your need :-)

2) use "[shift]+[Enter]":

      [GNUplot] set grid    # then press "[shift]+[Enter]"
                plot x      # press "[shift]+[Enter]" again
                plot x*x    # press [Enter]
      [GNUplot]
