Answer 1

You can access any element in the DOM by using the GWT DOM Class. For example, if your hidden box has the id "NetAdminSession", you may use the following to access the hidden box...

DOM.getElementById("NetAdminSession");

I'm not sure what your overall approach/architecture is, but it might also be helpful to look into some of the new features added in GWT 2.0. Specifically, Declarative Layout with UIBinder. With this you can actually construct your user interface with declarative XML instead of using pure Java. I would steer away from creating too much of your UI in the actual HTML file since it will be easier to control those UI elements if you construct them in your GWT code. You can still stick to good MVC principles if you break your classes/code up the right way.
