Answer 1

The only thing you are allowed to do in an onbeforeunload handler is display a dialog. You specifically don't get any extra time to perform tasks which may take time to complete, like firing off HTTP requests — the user has asked to leave your site; aside from asking them politely whether they want to stay, you aren't allowed to make them stay (even while you clean up).
