From what I understand, TortoiseSVN already helps you with both of
these tasks. When you commit, it pops up a list of files about to be
committed, and you can uncheck a checkbox before each filename to
exclude it from the commit. You can also double-click a file to see
the diff.

You shouldn't want that. :-) The reason you might want that is if you
had made two sets of logically different changes in your working
copy, and wanted to commit them separately. Committing logically
different changes separately is a good idea, but initially making
those changes in a single working copy is not, especially if the
changes occur to an overlapping set of files. Instead, have two
separate working copies. Make one logical set of changes in one
working copy. Make the other set of changes in the other working
copy. Then you can commit either independently of the other.
