Answer 1

When you upload files you get UploadFile (API link) objects (basically the wrappers of array).

$this->getRequest()->files[0]->getClientOriginalName();

Can't try this now but you might need to do this instead:

$this->getRequest()->files['name_of_file_field_in_post']->getClientOriginalName();

where you would replace name_of_file_field_in_post with your form field's name.
