Answer 1

I had a similar usecase too. I did not have a way to do it using google maps api. But, you can try getting geometry (lat, lng) from Autocomplete getPlaces() and use geonames.org API to get nearby sublocalities giving lat, lng and radius

http://api.geonames.org/findNearbyPlaceNameJSON?lat=13.041703&lng=80.251943&radius=5&username=demo

Types: ["(cities)"] will give you just localities.

From the documentation :

"types | Type: Array | The types of predictions to be returned. Four types are supported: 'establishment' for businesses, 'geocode' for addresses, '(regions)' for administrative regions and '(cities)' for localities. If nothing is specified, all types are returned."

var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');         
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input, {
    types: ["(cities)"]
});
