Answer 1

is it possible to hand a class to a method? And if so, does the type "any" include such class-types?

Yes and yes. any includes every type.

Here's an example of a type that includes only classes:

type Class = { new(...args: any[]): any; };

Then using it:

function myFunction(myClassParam: Class) {
}

class MyClass {}

myFunction(MyClass); // ok
myFunction({}); // error

You shouldn't have an error passing in a class for Function though because that should work fine:

var func: Function = MyClass; // ok
