Answer 1

Please note that this hasn't really changed since the introduction of V8 runtime for google app scripts.

While we are on the latest and greatest version of ECMAScript, running a Promise.all(func1, func2) I can see that the code in the second function is not executed until the first one is completed.

Also, there is still no setTimeout() global function to use in order to branch the order of execution. Nor do any of the APIs provide callback functions or promise-like results. Seems like the going philosophy in GAS is to make everything synchronous.
