Yes you can use http handler and you can get anything from there.
You can use IRequiresSessionState to use access session.

Answer 2

You have several choices:

1. Access the current user is by writing it to the response. Something like (JavaScript):

   var userid = '<%=HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name%>';
   

2. Make an ajax request to a web method (either to a Page Methods/Web Service or an HTTP Handler) that returns the current user id. Something like

   $.post("SomeURL/GetUserID",function(data){  });
