Answer 1

When you make request like this:

http://graph.facebook.com/103407310026838/picture?type=square&type=large

it makes a redirect to other url..

You need to add an extra param on Get request

redirect=false

Like this

http://graph.facebook.com/103407310026838/picture?type=square&type=large&redirect=false

and you will get the a Json with Real Image url..

Like this :

{
   "data": {
      "is_silhouette": true,
      "url": "https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-1/s200x200/1379841_10150004552801901_469209496895221757_n.jpg?oh=4234dcdfc832a58b9ef7a31c7896c73c&oe=57DD01F8"
   }
}

finally make new request to get the image that you found in data->url
