Either you have to pass down the request object down to your own code or 
you pass the current 'context' object down to your code and access the 
request object from their using context.REQUEST. Don't expect that the 
current REQUEST is magically available. So the solution for questions 1-3 
is: pass down the parameters that you need from the location where you have 
them and from where you call your own code (which is likely a script or a 
template).
