Executive Session

When discussing a particularly contentious motion, can you declare an "executive session" and ask nonvoting members to leave the room. I.e. if the meeting starts to get out of hand, can non-board members be excluded from the discussions?

The assembly can decide to go into executive session by a majority vote, whether their is contention or not.

and ask nonvoting members to leave the room.

"non-voting member" is a problem. The question is whether or not these members have the right to attend. When you create a class of member with limited rights, we can't give you a definite answer about those rights.

This one is easier. In a board meeting, nonmembers of the board have no right to attend, and they certainly have no right to participate. They can be allowed to attend, but the board can throw them out (gently) at any time.
