Answer 1

Here's an example of how you can do an update if exists, otherwise insert:

Arguments for update are: findQuery, data, queryOptions, onComplete

var update = { data: "1", expires: 300 };
that.update({ session_id: sid }, { $set: update }, { upsert: true }, function(err, data) {
  callback.apply(this, arguments);
});

How about a dbref? It will let you access the SocialProfiles directly instead of having to loop through a bunch of embedded objects
