Answer 1

str=$("input.classname").val();
or
str=$("input#idname").val();
it is inside js
and the easy way to send information by hidden input like this
<input type="hidden" class="classname" value="<?php echo "here the value you want to send"; ?>" />

If I understand correctly, you want to send data to PHP, then have PHP return data accordingly. Here is what I use to make an ajax call:
var sendData = "action=do_action";
sendData += "&value=" + $("input.value").val();
$.ajax({
url: "post.php",//Page to send our data to
global: false,
type: "POST",
data: sendData,
dataType: "html",
async:false,
success: function(data){
//We could return JSON and then just parse that, but I usually just return values like this
//create jquery object from the response html
var $response=$(data);
var results = $response.filter('div.results').text();//Or .html() if we want to return HTML to show
if (results == "true") {
alert("it works");
}else{
var reason= $response.filter('div.reason').text();
alert(reason);
}
}
});
And the PHP would look like:
<?php
$action = $_POST['action'];
if ($action == "do_action") {
if (true) {
echo "<div class='result'>true</div>";
}else{
echo "<div class='result'>false</div>";
echo "<div class='reason'>Houston, we have a problem!</div>";
}
}
?>

Which is the active directory in this case? Is it the one which contains a.php?
Also, you are sending back a string. You must convert that using JSON.parse().
Your response is a string, so it does not have an 'a'.
