Answer 1

Basically, JavaScript cannot "touch" your local file, you just can do that using HTML5 + JavaScript or using Flash ActionScript

Answer 2

There is a library: ImageInfo - read image metadata with JavaScript. Between that and local file access in HTML5 you should be able to get it.

UPDATE New link for the imageinfo library.
