Answer 1

You could append a hidden field to the form before submitting it:

$container.find('.myButton').click(function() {
    var form = $container.find('.myForm');
    form.append(
        $(document.createElement('input'))
            .attr('type', 'hidden')
            .attr('name', 'somename')
            .attr('type', 'somecalculatedvalue')
    );
    form.submit();
});
