Answer 1

All you wanted is either use Oauth or OpenId. There are various Java based library which will do the heavy lifting for you and all you need to do is to

OAuth

1. Create redirect URL for authorization
2. Send the code you get when user authorize your application to get access_token
3. use the access_token to get the required information

There are lots of API which will give you start-up

Oauth API's

1. scribe-java oauth
2. oauth.googlecode

for list of Oauth library refer to this page oauth.net.

OpenID library
