Answer 1

Subscribe to the unload event in the child window and call the parent window from the child window to notify it is closing!

Edit Added a code sample...

function popupClosing() {
  alert('About to refresh');
  window.location.href = window.location.href;
}

var w = window.open("hello.html","_blank","toolbar=yes, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no, copyhistory=yes, width=400, height=400");
w.onunload = function () {
  window.parent.popupClosing()
};
