Answer 1

All you have to do is add this to your .kendoGrid

    dataBound: function (e) {
            //total bits needs to be removed because dataBound fires every time the gird pager is pressed.
            $('#totalBits').remove();
            //add the total count to the pager div.  or whatever div you want... just remember to clear it before you add it.
            $('.k-grid-pager').append('<div id="totalBits">' + this.dataSource.total() + '</div>')
     }
