Yup, check out "dsadd user /?" and pay attention to the -hmdir switch.
Normally, you wouldn't share the user's directory - you'd share the root
folder (as a hidden share preferably) under which all users' home
directories are located and map a drive letter to the user's home
folder. For details check out:

The GUI version is the ADUC console :) You can select multiple users and
edit many properties for all, including home directory. As for creating
users - no, but "dsadd user", CSVDE, LDIFDE, "net user", ADSI scripting
are pretty straighforward to use. Check out
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/ScriptCenter for sample scripts on
creating users.
