Answer 1

In e4, the EPartService is responsible for opening Parts. This can also be used to open e3 ViewParts. Instantiate the following class through your IEclipseContext, call the openPart-Method, and you should see the Eclipse internal browser view.

public class Opener {
    @Inject
    EPartService partService;

    public void openPart() {
        MPart part = partService.createPart("org.eclipse.ui.browser.view");
        part.setLabel("Browser");

        partService.showPart(part, PartState.ACTIVATE);
    }
}

Here you can find an example of how this works together with your Application.e4xmi.
