Answer 1

I think it is a real pain that google doesn't provide some sort of functionality to get these. Anyhow I think the best way of finding the right object is:

geocoder.geocode({'address': request.term }, function(results, status){

   response($.map(results, function(item){

      var city = $.grep(item.address_components, function(x){
         return $.inArray('locality', x.types) != -1;
      })[0].short_name;

      alert(city);
   }            
});
