Answer 1

    ${options}=    Evaluate  sys.modules['selenium.webdriver'].ChromeOptions()  sys, selenium.webdriver
    Call Method    ${options}    add_argument    incognito
    Create WebDriver    Chrome    chrome_options=${options}
    Go To    https://www.google.com

Answer 2

This should work:

Open Browser | ${url} | Chrome | options=add_argument("--incognito")

Answer 3

Robotframework always creates a 'clean' session of chrome so it shouldn't make a difference.

If you still want to run a incognito session, you could set --incognito option:

Open Browser      ${url}      Chrome     options=addArguments("--incognito")

You can find what you can pass to the browser here: http://robotframework.org/SeleniumLibrary/SeleniumLibrary.html#Open%20Browser
