Answer 1

You can probably get some kind of multithreadedness if you create a number of frames in an HTML document, and run a script in each of them, each calling a function in the main frame that should make sense of the results of those functions.

Answer 2

Currently JavaScript is not multithreaded, but the things will change in near future. There is a new thing in HTML5 called Worker. It allows you to do some job in background.

But it's currently is not supported by all browsers.

JS in general is single threaded. However HTML5 Web workers introduce multi-threading. Read more at http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/workers/basics/
