Answer 1

Did you try the jps tool?

DESCRIPTION

The jps tool lists the instrumented HotSpot Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) on the target system. The tool is limited to reporting information on JVMs for which it has the access permissions.

...

The list of JVMs produced by the jps command may be limited by the permissions granted to the principal running the command. The command will only list the JVMs for which the principle has access rights as determined by operating system specific access control mechanisms.

...

OUTPUT FORMAT

The output of the jps command follows the following pattern:

 lvmid [ [ classname | JARfilename | "Unknown"] [ arg* ] [jvmarg* ] ] 

For example, to list the instrumented JVMs on the local host:

$ jps
18027 Java2Demo.JAR
18032 jps
18005 jstat

Run it under the desired account.

Have you tried Process Explorer "Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded." Doesn't just work for java processes.
