msvc.compile.asm is standard assembler action, so it's not surprising it does not have /safeseh switch.

Looking at Jamfile, I see this:

alias asm_context_sources
    : asm/make_i386_ms_pe_masm.asm
      asm/jump_i386_ms_pe_masm.asm
      dummy.cpp
    : <address-model>32
      <architecture>x86
      <binary-format>pe
      <target-os>windows
      <toolset>msvc
    ;

which seems to be the most specific version of asm_context_sources when you use msvc toolset. Maybe you need
some <toolset>msvc:<asmflags>/safeseh somewhere in that Jamfile, like on top level?

Regarding display of executed commands, if you run "b2 --help" you'll find the answer, under "Important Options"
header.
