Answer 1

You can use this too: browser.executeScript("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();", basePage.faqText.getWebElement());

I does the magic in one line.

basePage.faqText is the element that I want to scroll here.

Answer 2

To set the focus on your panel you can maybe click on it:

element(by.id('filters')).click();

Then to scroll to your filter, you can execute a client side script:

var filter = browser.findElement(by.id('jobTypeTitle'));
var scrollIntoView = function () {
  arguments[0].scrollIntoView();
};
browser.executeScript(scrollIntoView, filter);

You can have a look at the webdriverjs doc.
