This is how you can get a view programmatically:

  $view = views_get_view('view_name');
  $view->set_display('view_block_name');
  $view->set_arguments(array($argument_goes_here));
  $view->pre_execute();
  $view->execute();
  print $view->render();

The views object has many functions which can be viewed here.

You can set current page for the pager with $view->set_current_page($page);
