How do I keep the masked scene within the masking area, in other words how do I keep the scene within the diamound things.

You need to moves your masks with the frames using ther keyframes at the bottom. You don't actually form a moving shape around a character, you're just tracing it, so you have to move your outline for every frame. Hence why masking is tedious as balls.

Depends on the tool and what you are masking.

Some tools allow you to identify an edge of a region in a scene (like a tv screen, car window, or whatever), then apply a mask to that region. As the region moves (as identified by the edge detection), so will the mask.

Doesn't always work (it needs nicely defined edges that don't deform too much), but it's not bad.

he was asking about Vegas before, so more than likely it's the "Pen tool" in Vegas
