I think that's right - there isn't a built-in command.

This is because what you've done is ask ivreg2 for standard errors that
are robust to arbitrary autocorrelation. It's just like the usual
-robust- option - the standard errors become consistent, but the
coefficients don't change because they were already consistent (by
assumption), albeit possibly inefficient.
Note that this is a correction for arbitrary autocorrelation, so it's
more general than just your AR(1) case.
The bw(#) option specifies how quickly the autocorrelation is assumed to
die out. The literature on this is pretty technical; what number you
choose depends among other things on the kernel estimator used and the
sample size. One rule of thumb for the Barlett (a.k.a. Newey-West)
kernel is bandwidth = 0.75 * T^1/3 where T is the sample size. See
Stock-Watson, Introduction to Econometrics, pp. 505-6.

They are GMM coefficients. The difference is that they are efficient in
the presence of arbitrary autocorrelation (not just consistent like the
IV coefficients).
