Answer 1

This should be saved in the manifest.json

 {
"manifest_version": 2,

"name": "example",
"description": "Lorem Ipsum dollar sit amet",
"version": "0.0",

"browser_action": {
  "default_icon": "icon.png",
  "default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
  "activeTab",
  "tabs",
  "content_security_policy"
]
}

Since the content script cant access the page javascript objects, inject a script in the page (the official docs explain how). That injected script has access to the objects and can then use messaging or writting on the dom to communicate with the content or popup.
