Answer 1

Untested by me, but there appears to be a UID class with a static getStaticUID() method in the proprietary NXP APIs on JCOP.

If you have Eclipse with NXP JCOP tools installed, look into plugins of your Eclipse installation folder to find a *smartmx.targetpacks.smartmx_*/apis folder which contains (zipped) Javadocs for NXP proprietary API.

As far as I know there is no standardized way in Java Card or Global Platform to get to the UID.
