One reason we currently use UpdatePanels for doing our AJAX is because our BL and DA layers pass around the Page.User.Identity for authentication.
Is there a way to access this?

Yes, you can get the current user via
HttpContext.Current.User. From the MSDN documentation forPage.User:As for your broader question, “How can I use jQuery Ajax and PageMethods with instance variables?” The answer is “not directly.”
No instance of your page is created when executing a page method. (Why do ASP.NET AJAX page methods have to be static? is a great conceptual overview of the differences between normal page operations and static page methods).
The only way to access instance variables in page methods is to first put the variables into
Sessionduring the initial page request – but this is a rather fragile strategy: you’re better off figuring out another way to get the data or values in question.
