Basically what the title says - if you are a necromancer, is there any method to stop corpses you have raised from attacking everything around them, particularly friendly races?

Not raising the dead. Or turning the friendly NPCs into vamps.

raised or abused/cloud undead oppose life, so they will proceed to kill anything and everything until you remove [OPPOSE_LIFE] from their tokens or whatever, bet it wouldnt work, wouldnt know if it does either

It is critical to always dispose of undead allies when you are finished using them and before fast-traveling. If you are careful to do this without mangling them badly, you may be able to re-raise them if you should need them again.

Also, in almost all situations with multiple humanoid opponents, it is fairly straightforward to generate limbs or heads to animate.

As far as I know they can't open doors. In mead halls sprint ahead of them so that the door closes behind you before they reach the tasty flesh feast and then fast travel out of there.

Alternatively, kill your minions when you're done with them... you can come back later and resurrect twice as many if you chopped off their limbs first...

Personally, I always carry around a bunch of skins and disembodied hands and deploy them as distractions with a melee-oriented necromancer.

Telling them to wait in a camp before walking into towns could work
