If I buy a programmable remote fob, get the key cut, will it start the car without being programmed for the immobiliser? I'm trying to avoid the £150 that VW UK want for a spare key.

The valet key will start the car it will not unlock the glove box or the trunk. The valet key is used for so the owner could lock any valuables in trunk or glove box give the valet key to the valet who would be able to open and start the car but not get in trunk or glove box. The catch is you must have locked the trunk with the master key so if you did not do that before you lost your key you re fine.
Second part of your question is no, at least in the US. The computer sets a random code with the key each time it stops. So lets say you have 3 keys each one has a random code set by the computer if you try and bring in a new one the car will not see it. It is a safety issue makes your car harder to steal.
