I know I can grab a webel

Answer 1

There is not really a straight-forward way of getting the html source code of a webelement. You will have to use JS. I am not too sure about python bindings but you can easily do like this in Java. I am sure there must be something similar to JavascriptExecutor class in Python.

 WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("foo"));
 String contents = (String)((JavascriptExecutor)driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].innerHTML;", element);
