Answer 1

Well, I think the only options available are:

• https://graph.facebook.com/[PROFILE_ID]/picture (You can include this URL inside a tag and it will work).
• Scrap yourself the page corresponding to the profile, i.e. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=[PROFILE_ID] and get the URL of the picture there.

I would suggest you to use the first one, because it gives you more flexibility about the picture size (?type=small, ?type=thumbnail, etc).

Edit

Keep in mind that this answer is from 2011, and Facebook makes changes in its APIs frequently.
