Answer 1

It doesn't matter where you create the intent. If you've used Activity's startActivityForResult() method, then you'll receive results in onActivityResult() function.

Answer 2

Finish the activity you are starting for result like this

  Bundle b = new Bundle();
  b.putString(key, value);
  Intent i = getIntent(); //gets the intent that called this intent
  i.putExtras(b);
  setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK, i);
  finish();
