I have a huge batch draw system that performs those tasks.  Here are a few highlights from your requests:

Dim drawDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument = CreateDrawingDoc()

Public Function CreateDrawingDoc() As Inventor.DrawingDocument
        Dim drawDoc As Inventor.DrawingDocument = Nothing
        Try
            Dim invSilent As Boolean = invApp.SilentOperation
            invApp.SilentOperation = True
            drawDoc = invApp.Documents.Add(DocumentTypeEnum.kDrawingDocumentObject, BatchDrawings.Instance.DrawingTemplate)
            Dim strFileName As String = Me.NewDrawingPath
            Try
                drawDoc.SaveAs(strFileName, False)
            Catch
                MsgBox("Can not save file with this name it is probably already open as a different document." & vbCrLf & strFileName)
                Me.Errors += "[Can not save file]"
            End Try
            invApp.SilentOperation = invSilent
        Catch ex As Exception
            Dim eh As New ErrorHandler(ex)
            eh.HandleIt()
        End Try
        Return drawDoc
    End Function

Just pick the name for both files and save them.
