Answer 1

That number is the Unix time (epoch time I think) in miliseconds. It is how javascript handles time values.

When passing values from your data to be added to the chart it may look like 01/01/1928 00:00:00. To get this into the appropriate format for HighCharts to use you can do (in javascript):

Date.parse('01/01/1928 00:00:00')
