You can always embed the visual and then allow the video to play with the click through from the beginning. You can get the visual to be a pretty high dpi as well so the quality remains in tact.

Youtube only generates a few snapshots (around 1-3 snap images), there is no specific way to get an image at X point of time. It will be either a few seconds from the start, the middle and 1 other spot.

If you need to get the other format of the thumbnails, perhaps this can help
