Answer 1

As this is a crossdomain request you have to set the dataType option to jsonp, this should work:

$.ajax({
    url: 'https://graph.facebook.com/mahernazeer/picture', 
    dataType: 'jsonp',
    success: function(imageUrl) {
        console.log(imageUrl);    // https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/274173_100002201391414_6210108_q.jpg
    }
});
