Answer 1

Each place returned in the place-autocomplete response has an Id and a reference string as explained here.

Use either (preferably Id since reference is deprecated) to query Places API for the full information about that place (including lat/lng): https://developers.google.com/places/documentation/details#PlaceDetailsRequests

Regarding shyam's comment - Geocoding will work only if you got a full address in the autocomplete response which is not always the case. Also Geocoding gives a list of possible results since the place description you get in the autocomplete response is not unique. Depending on your needs, geocoding might be enough.
