Would like a screen saver to run on the primary monitor and leave the display on without a screensaver on the secondary monitor.

You could do this with the Screen Saver Player add-on.

How do you set it to run after a specified period of inactivity? How do you get it to stop after a user intervention?

You could do this with the ScreenSaveSelective script.
This requires some configuration, if you're not sure how to edit the script let me know, I would need to know the number of the primary monitor, the screen saver you want to use, and after how many minutes of inactivity the screen saver should get started.

"to terminate it you'll need to terminate wscript.exe using the Task Manager"
Is there a way to have it stop via mouse or keyboard movement like a traditional Screensaver?

The screen saver gets stopped if you move the mouse back to the primary monitor.
Terminating wscript.exe is only necessary if you want to stop the script, otherwise it will keep running in the background and will start the screen saver again if the mouse hasn't been on the primary monitor for the specified number of minutes.

How do I force "Screen Saver Player" to run in the foreground? Currently it runs behind the open running programs

Are you using the ScreenSaveSelective script, or do you run the screen saver player directly?

Run screen saver player directly on demand.

Does it run in fullscreen mode? You can enable this via the View menu.

Yes, In Full screen mode, just BEHIND the other apps.

You could put the screen saver player on top of all other windows with the AlwaysOnTop script, to set this up go to UltraMon Options > Hotkeys and create a new 'Run application or script' hotkey which runs the script.
Not sure though why this would be necessary, in fullscreen mode the screen saver player should be above all other windows on the monitor it is on, even the taskbar.
