Answer 1

In the new Graph API (including via JavaScript) this can be accomplished by accessing "/[user]/permissions".

From the User object documentation:

permissions

The permissions that user has granted the application.

array containing a single object which has the keys as the permission names and the values as the permission values (1/0) - Permissions with value 0 are omitted from the object by default; also includes a type field which is always permissions.
