It is different:

> mapname [x y] below, and

will generate a map (named mapname) shifted x y and on the original
place only "below" preview of mapname will be displayed.

> preview below mapname?

will generate only the preview, "mapname" will not be displayed.

No, because there the preview is just caused by another offset, not
"preview" option in the map.

OK, I will put it on the TODO list. May be it will not be too complicated...
