Answer 1

This is now possible using Web Service Datasource

http://community.jaspersoft.com/project/web-service-data-source

This Community project implement a Custom Datasource, built using the latest Custom Datasource framework (leveraging Data Adapters internally).

It is also working inside JasperReports Server:

You can use it to fill Query based Input Controls, as well as Ad Hoc Reporting (for Commercial version) using it through Topic.
