You can set the windows site and offset by setting a parameter in the 
jParams. The name of the parameter is "ctnscroll_" + container list name. 
For example:

String ctnscroll_newsContainer = "10_0";
if (/*test here if you user agent is wap*/) {
         ctnscroll_newsContainer = "1_0";
}
jParams.setParameter("ctnscroll_newsContainer",ctnscroll_newsContainer);
JahiaContainerList newsContainerList = jData.containers().getContainerList( 
"newsContainer" );
newsEnumeration = newsContainerList.getContainers();
while (newsEnumeration.hasMoreElements()) {
     // ...
}

There is a javascript issue. Please reffer to this thread 
http://list.jahia.org/dev_list/msg01352.html
This is a similar question.

Yes it's possible, using the formContentMapperHandler tag. You will find 
examples:
