Answer 1

You should avoid using global vars, and prefer using .data()

So, you'd do:

jQuery('#id').click(function(){
  $(this).data('clicked', true);
});

Then, to check if it was clicked and perform an action:

if(jQuery('#id').data('clicked')) {
    //clicked element, do-some-stuff
} else {
    //run function2
}

Hope this helps. Cheers
