Is it possible to make a NEW FileMaker database with applescript…
Like this:
tell app "FileMaker Pro"
create new database with name "test"
create new cell with name "Name"
end tell

No. According to the dictionary (and some ad-hoc testing since you can’t always trust the dictionary), virtually all properties of databases are read-only via AppleScript.
About the only thing you can do is set the value of any cell/field. You can’t create new fields in a database via AppleScript.
Not the way you want. You would either have to script the GUI or else create a merge document and open that. A merge document is a comma delimited text document with field names in the first record. If you open a merge doc in Filemaker, it will create a FileMaker file with the field names from the merge document.
