Answer 1

Might be a bit restrictive, but py-appscript may be the easiest way of controlling a Applescript'able browser from Python.

For more complex things, you can use the PyObjC to achieve pretty much anything - for example, webkit2png is a Python script which uses WebKit to load a page, and save an image of it. You need to have a decent understanding of Objective-C and Cocoa/etc to use it (as it just exposes ObjC objects to Python)

Screen-scaping may achieve what you want with much less complexity.
