Answer 1

If you are using the Node.js server SDK you can use the getCollections() method on DocumentReference: https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/firestore/0.8.x/DocumentReference#getCollections

This method will return a promise for an array of CollectionReference objects which you can use to access the documents within the collections.
