Answer 1

This filesystem API does not appear to actually write a true "file" to your hard disk. It seems to store a file within a sandboxed safe zone in the browser. You'll have to write a quick and dirty little file manager (or find one out there) to manage the files for a given web app. You can also try visiting filesystem:///temporary/ to see all the files that your app has created.
