Answer 1

Besides classic Java-Erlang communication via OTP jinterface you can research such methods like:

 - thrift
 - ice from zeroC (no official erlang binding)
 - maybe two http servers on both sides (I like this approach) 
 - protocol buffers (rather not, it is better for larger data transfers)

You need to learn the shape of your traffic and choose the best solution. Jinterface is not so bad, tho.. (here is official doc: http://www.erlang.org/doc/apps/jinterface/jinterface_users_guide.html)
