Answer 1

You may be able to add the button by inserting an ClientSideEvents-AfterAddDialogShown="AddButton"

Then your function AddButton can insert your button html into the table of the Add Dialog Box.

jqGrid has some CSS classes which will be used for buttons. You can add new button inside of beforeShowForm callback for example:

$.extend($.jgrid.edit, {
    bSubmit: "Save and Close",
    bCancel: "Cancel",
    width: 370,
    recreateForm: true,
    beforeShowForm: function () {
        $('<a href="#">Save and New<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-disk"></span></a>')
            .click(function() {
                alert("click!");
            }).addClass("fm-button ui-state-default ui-corner-all fm-button-icon-left")
              .prependTo("#Act_Buttons>td.EditButton");
    }
});

To add button that clears all input element within modal window:

$.extend($.jgrid.edit, {
    bSubmit: "Save and Close",
    bCancel: "Cancel",
    width: 370,
    recreateForm: true,
    beforeShowForm: function () {
        $('<a href="#">Clear<span class="ui-icon ui-icon-document-b"></span></a>')
            .click(function() {
              $(".ui-jqdialog input").val("");    
            }).addClass("fm-button ui-state-default ui-corner-all fm-button-icon-left")
              .prependTo("#Act_Buttons>td.EditButton");
    }
});
