Answer 1

Although already answered:

$.ajax({
  method: 'GET',
  async: false
});

I want to warn of you the following:

• Blocks javascript execution, and might thus lock the webpage (no buttons working etc etc, it looks like your page hangs during the ajax call)
• Using synchronous calls gives console warnings.

Javascript is build based on event-driven design. you could also fire an custom named event (with the data result in the event data) when the ajax/get call is complete and let the followup action listen to this event.

eg:

$(form).on('submit',function(){
   var formEl = this;
   $.get({...}).success(function(data){
     var event = new Event('data-submitted');
     event.data = data; 
     formEl.dispatchEvent(event);
   })
});
$(form).on('data-submitted',function(event){
  var data = event.data;
  // you can handle the post ajax request event here.
});
