Is there any way to us javascript (or anything else) to control the document window size (33.3%, 66.6%, etc) or position on-screen?

As for the zoom:

// by michael l hale;

function setZoom( zoom ) {// as percent

   cTID = function(s) { return app.charIDToTypeID(s); }; // from xbytor

   var docRes = activeDocument.resolution;

   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, 72/(zoom/100), ResampleMethod.NONE );

   var desc = new ActionDescriptor();

   var ref = new ActionReference();

   ref.putEnumerated( cTID( "Mn  " ), cTID( "MnIt" ), cTID( 'PrnS' ) );

   desc.putReference( cTID( "null" ), ref );

   executeAction( cTID( "slct" ), desc, DialogModes.NO );

   activeDocument.resizeImage( undefined, undefined, docRes, ResampleMethod.NONE );

};

app.activeDocument.suspendHistory ("zoom", "setZoom( 65 )");

    Nice hack... image resize without resizing image used for zoom :-) :-D

    You also can run menu items for

    100% size and then increase or decrease zoom and use another similar commands

    I would try to write AutoHotkey script (windows) and then compile it in .exe file and you could run it from script. Maybe you could run this exe file with arguments, which will contains size and position. Maybe somebody already did program like this.

    You can move window which are created by UI Scripting (.jsx) (not document window, but maybe some some default dialogs)

    You can change workspaces but it doesn't include document window.

    You can run menu items: Window > Arrange

    You can read number of displays and their dimensions.
