Answer 1

You can use the Class View Window, or you can use outlining to collapse the code window to definitions (Ctrl-M-O and Ctrl M-L in the standard keyboard set up)

Answer 2

I've started using VSCommands 10.

This has support for the most common languages used when developing in Visual Studio 2010, including JavaScript.

Answer 3

Trick is to call Ctrl+F2, then Tab, then Tab, then Down arrow. I've done it with this simple AutoHotkey script when I hit Ctrl+o:

#IfWinActive ahk_exe devenv.exe
^o::
  Send ^{F2}
  Send {Tab}
  Send {Tab}
  Send {Down}
  return
#IfWinActive

It will show dropdown that is closest to Quick Outline in Eclipse or others.

In VS2017 you can navigate between items in the file directly from the upper right corner of the Editor.

• not free, but if you install Visual AssistX, each document gets a dropdown box listing all methods in a file (alphabetically or in the order they occur)

• check Class View again, it does show functions (but not per document). Also check out the Code Definition Window, extremely nice when combined with Class View.
