Answer 1

You can use 3rd param of ContentResolver.requestSync to pass arguments to your SyncAdapter. They will be available in extras Bundle in onPerformSync callback in your sync adapter.

You cannot pass any object using this method (see requestSync docs), but it migth be good enough for your use case (for example you can pass Account objects).
