Answer 1

in GAE you have limited access to external resource

outside GAE you can use webkit2png http://www.paulhammond.org/webkit2png/

Answer 2

Not sure how you actually want it to work. You can however use the following links to pass a url and fetch its screenshot:

http://www.programmableweb.com/api/shotbot

These are the third party applications which work just fine. You can try them.
