Answer 1

For a bit of context, the page you are in can be found in

Central Administration > Security > Manage web part security

There are 3 properties there, all can be accessed through server object model.

$wa = get-spwebapplication http://contoso
$wa.AllowPartToPartCommunication
$wa.AllowAccessToWebPartCatalog
$wa.AllowContributorsToEditScriptableParts

You can tweak as a regular bool

$wa.AllowContributorsToEditScriptableParts = $true
$wa.Update()

If you are looking for solutions in the context of Office 365, I can't help you, but perhaps this can point you in the right direction.
