Answer 1

I seems that if o.url = 'index.php' and this file exists is ok and returning a success message in the console. It returns an error if I use url:http://www.google.com

If doing a post request why not using directly the $.post method:

$.post("test.php", { func: "getNameAndTime" },
    function(data){
        alert(data.name); // John
        console.log(data.time); //  2pm
    }, "json");

It is so much simpler.
