Answer 1

You can override the serializeData method on your view and have it return both models' data:

APP.Views.HeaderView = Backbone.Marionette.ItemView.extend({

  // ...

  serializeData: function(){
    return {
      model1: this.model.toJSON(),
      model2: this.options.model2.toJSON()
    };
  }

});

Then your template would look like this:
