Answer 1

According to their subsection on extending short lived client tokens, you'll need to take in your short lived client token and, having filled in the relevant app data, send a GET request from your server to the following endpoint:

GET /oauth/access_token?  
  grant_type=fb_exchange_token&           
  client_id={app-id}&
  client_secret={app-secret}&
  fb_exchange_token={short-lived-token}

The response will contain your long-lived access token which can then be passed back to the client or used on your server. If you don't currently have a module for performing HTTP operations, I highly recommend Requests.
