Actually, it was not really my intent to turn you from the default
tex-mode.el as long as it was an informed decision.

This can be called a deficiency of AUCTeX, so it would probably be
best discussed on auctex-devel at gnu.org.

Yes, more or less.

You probably want something like

  (TeX-command "LaTeX" 'TeX-master-file 0)

to run the command "LaTeX" on the master file without prompting.  If
you have a good suggestion where to add information like that in the
documentation (which really could make use of a lot of improvement),
please address it to the developer list which is usually quite
responsive.
