Answer 1

On an apt-compatible Linux use:

sudo apt-get install libimobiledevice-utils

Now you can do

idevice_id -l

to get the device UUID while it's connected by USB.

Answer 2

This is super easy on Windows. You can also go to Control Panel > Devices and printers in win 7. Plug in the phone

Device Manager > Iphone 
Right - click
Properties > Hardware Tab
Properties > Details Tab
Property > Device Instance Path

UUID is the last device path listed.

USB\VID_05AC&PID_1297\UUID String

Enjoy skipping itunes installation.
