There cannot be such a tool. The design of ISO9660 makes it impossible
(or at least very very difficult) to modify the filesystem after it is
created.

In nautilus, type "burn:///" in the location bar. This is a
pseudofolder. Copy whatever files you want to this folder, then choose
"burn" from the context (right-click) menu. Nautilus will create the
ISO and write it to your default burner.
You are not describing the Windows program correctly. It does actually
create an ISO image until what you call "unmount time".
In addition, there is a technique called "multiple sessions", whereby
several ISO9660 images are written to a single physical CD. When done
in a particular way, this makes it look like you are `adding' files to
the CD. It also allows you to have a CD with `mac' and `windows' parts
-- they are simply separate images written to the same disk.

I only use 80min CDs. I have had no problems with them.
> What happens if I try to write an image which is too large?
If you have overburn turned on, cdrecord will attempt to write the whole
thing. Disks are a little bit larger than their advertised size.
Otherwise, I think cdrecord will refuse to write to the disk at all.
