Have a look at simulating keyevents on Android and search for "KEYCODE_VOLUME_UP" and "KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN".
Events can be generated by executing "input":
#local shell:
input keyevent 24 #vol up
input keyevent 25 #vol down
#remotely using ssh
ssh your-phone input keyevent 24 #vol up
ssh your-phone input keyevent 25 #vol down
# 'su -c command' to make it ...

There are a lot of possibilities to remotely administrate and use an Android Device from your PC -- including, but not restricted to reading/sending SMS. Take a look at the following apps/links:
Airdroid is simply to be installed on your Android-Device and can then be accessed via a web-browser ("browser-based"). Manages SMS/MMS, Apps, photos, videos, ...

I've tried several solutions like TabletTalk, Desksms, but none of them was really reliable. Two weeks ago I found mysms which works very similar, but for me works a lot better.
You install mysms on your phone and on your tablet (there's a seperate tablet app for this) and it immediately syncs your messages from your phone to your tablet. If you send a ...

Although there is not a general solution for remotely launching apps, here is a solution that applies to your situation:
First, install AndroidLost from the online Google Play Store.
this is the app you can use to control/wipe/access info about your lost device, yadayada
Give it a little time to install to your device, then install AndroidLost Jumpstart ...

If GPS accuracy is enough for you, Plan B is just what you need. You can remotely install it via the Play Store web interface and it activates automatically, sending the phone's coordinates to your primary Google account.
However, it can't play sounds on your device to help you narrow the location further.

Assuming that you haven't changed the default triggers for the app, you can simply text your phone from another device with:
findme to get your phone to send you GPS information about it's location
ringaloud to get your phone to send you GPS information about it's location and to ring out loud at full volume.
Sourced from their instructions page.

Use Tablet Talk. I use this between my phone and tablet, and it works flawlessly. Auto syncs messages between the two, and forwards texts and calls to the tablet when connected. Has lots of settings to autoconnect, and suppress notifications on the phone when it pushes things to the tablet. I have it setup to connect whenever both my phone and tablet are ...

I just briefly read through the manual for your television found at Kogan's website, and as far as I can tell, the only available connection interface other than the typical IR used by remote controls is network-based. That means whatever application you use has to be supported both by the serving device (i.e. your TV) as well as use the local network ...

Webkey is my personal favorite remote control program. It turns your phone into a web server, complete with https and username/passwords with permissions you can set. So you could have an admin user with full access, and a standard user who can just see the screen.
On top of built-in VNC, Webkey also gives you the ability to track your phone by GPS, connect ...

There are several different VLC remote apps available which will let you control audio/video playback on your PC when you are connected to the same network. It's probably not for the un-technical, but it does feel very cool controlling your "stereo" from the other end of your apartment. You will generally need to:
Install VLC on your PC
turn on the web ...

If both devices are rooted, you can use AirDroid, which offers an...
Realtime Android screen (experimental feature, root permission required)
View your Android's screen, take a screenshot, or even record a screencast.
As you connect to the device using a web browser, you can just have two browser windows open - et voila, both devices should be shown ...

To my experience, headset control behaved randomly. Took me a couple of weeks to figure out why suddenly in my training sessions the music player started (wow! that button on the headset suddenly does something...). Like you, I never found any corresponding system settings.
To get rid of that "random system", I took a look around. As usual with Android, ...

Give androidscreencast a try. You may already need to have USB Debugging enabled for it to work, but you've said you already have that enabled, so should be ok. It just needs a USB connection to the phone and goes over the ADB protocol.

You can hae a look at AirDroid for desktop SMS.
It works as a kind of web server on your phone, which means you have to access it from a secure web page (downside: works only inside the same WiFi network).
But next to smses you can do a lot more with it, but I recommend you have a look at it yourself.

Summary from my comments, as requested, as an answer:
There are plenty of other headset controller apps on the playstore if you're worried about the permissions. I tried Jays once, but it only worked partially (in 9 out of 10 tries, I had no luck to adjust the volume -- instead, other actions were triggered, as e.g. pause/play).
Having a Philips headset, I ...

My initial research is confusing. Some say that this kind of commands just aren't available on Android. One source says that at least one product (Klipsch S4a (Android), £50-90) actually works as desired when also installing an application from the vendor.
As for add-on software to handle the in-cable buttons, HeadsetButton Controller (€2,29, free trial) ...

You might want to take a look at VNC solutions: Setting up a VNC server on one device, and using a VNC client on the other, you come close to your question's description.
Most VNC servers, however, require your device to be rooted (take e.g. a look at VNC server, which is quite well rated). The only non-root solution I've found up to now is VMLite VNC ...

Try a free app called AirDroid, which lets you control wirelessly your Android device from a desktop browser.
This is a fragment of Play Store app description:
Realtime Android screen (experimental feature, root permission required)
View your Android's screen, take a screenshot, or even
record a screencast.
Here's a video showing some of its ...

What you need is a software which acts as an UPnP Control Point on your new phone, and a Media Renderer with Push on the old phone. A control point is capable of exactly what you need: browse Media Server (your desktop) in the same way as you do with your old phone currently, but it doesn't play itself, instead it tells the Renderer "hey, start streaming ...

I make it a habit to reinstall Wifi Keyboard everytime I reflash my phone.
It doesn't require root as far as I know. Basically, you set it as your default keyboard if you want to use it. Then you will see a notification and clicking that should reveal an IP address + port to you. Open that address on a browser in your computer and you should see a big text ...

We have a similar question here that asks abour forwarding incoming messages to the PC over a HTTP interface.
Again, I can suggest GTalkSMS which is like a remote control for your phone over XMPP.

The best solution if you're willing to write code is SL4A. This will give you the most flexibility.
You could use the Python module with a lightweight web framework (like: bottle.py) or your favorite scripting language.
As a side note, get requests should not change state. Also make sure you implement some sort of security as this would make it possible ...

GTalkSMS is worth a look (not HTTP but does also what you want, even easier accessible).
It's an open source XMPP bot (google code project) that you can add to your Google Talk friends list or communicate to with any XMPP client.
You need to find a suitable commandline/scriptable XMPP client for your solution yourself however (as the 'curl' replacement in ...

I did end up using the paid app Presenter. I liked the interface and the way it dominantly shows the presentation time.
