A:
No jQuery is necessary in this situation.
window.opener.location.reload(false);

It does take an argument - you can pass in true to force reload (i.e. ignore cache)

The Mozilla reference site mentions this. I wonder if it is browser specific.

It's on MSDN too

Even if the argument is non-standard, it will be ignored (http://www.w3.org/TR/Window/#location-methods), so there's no harm in using it unless you want the default behaviour.

A:
You can use window.opener, window.parent, or window.top to reference the window in question. From there, you just call the reload method (e.g.: window.parent.location.reload()).
However, as a caveat, you might have problems with window.opener if you need to navigate away from the originally opened page since the reference will be lost.
