Is there a way to get wordpress to embed Vimeo, YouTube videos like tumblr with a thumbnail and then to play without the player buttons?
examples –
vimeo/youtube video embed with thumbnails

If you embed a vimeo video at that size it hides the playback buttons, no magic involved.
EDIT-
to display a static thumb of a youtube video:
your video url:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQO-aOdJLiw
take the
v=portion of the url to get the large thumb url:http://img.youtube.com/vi/WQO-aOdJLiw/0.jpg
and the small thumb url:
