Answer 1

You can get init-params defined in web.xml by:

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext()
    .getInitParameter("paramName");

Answer 2

Declare it in web.xml as follows:

<context-param>
    <param-name>paramName</param-name>
    <param-value>PARAM_VALUE</param-value>
</context-param>

Access it in ManagedBean as follows:

FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
                .getExternalContext().getInitParameter("paramName")

Hope this helps to solve your problem.
