Answer 1

You can use jQuery Masonry for this. http://masonry.desandro.com/

OR

Try a CSS alternative: http://css-tricks.com/seamless-responsive-photo-grid/

Answer 2

You dont need any plugin for that just find a mosaic image, infact u can cut a piece from that image in the link that u shared. Then use this css and u will get mosaic background

body
{
    background-image:url("Your images url..");
}

after this it will repeat your image piece and background will be mosaic :)
