Answer 1

When you reload the that popup you can do something like this in script if the change was successful:

window.opener.location.reload();
window.close();

So for example using RegisterStartupScript:

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "CloseScript", 
  "window.opener.location.reload(); window.close();", true);
