Answer 1

Please assign the ajax to jqXHR object and reading the responseText will help you.

 var jqXHR=$.ajax({
      url: 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name=immaulikvora&count=1&page=1&include_entities=1&callback=?',
      dataType: 'json',
      async: false
    });    

jqXHR.responseText // This will give you the result
