             var item={};

             item.id = "1";
             aNewData[i]=item;
            }

Answer 1

Where do the ids come from? Test following script, your array is in aData and the result will be in aNewData:

var aNewData = [];
for (var i = 0; i < aData[1].length; i++) {
    aNewData.push({
        "name": aData[1][i],
        "id": 20 + i
    });
}
