Answer 1

Firstly, I would change the id of #Date and #Time to #Date0 and #Time0 to keep things uniform. That way you can get rid of your switch statement altogether and do something like this, which is much less coding, and expandable for more items without changing the code.
The key to your question is the split() function which will split your date string into an array of pieces.
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php if($this->Date) : ?>
var date = JSON.parse('<?=$this->Date?>');
$.each(date, function(index, value) {
// Split the Date/Time string into an array with two items
//(0=date, 1=time)
var pieces = date.split(' ');
$("#Date"+index).val(pieces[0]);
$("#Time"+index).val(pieces[1]);
});
<?php endif; ?>
</script>

this may work :
var new_arr = [];
var a = "2012-02-06 16:30,2012-02-08 16:45,2012-02-10 16:30".split(",");
for(var i =0; i<a.length; i++)
{
new_arr.push(a[i].split(' '));
}
console.log(new_arr);

Answer 3

var date = '2012-02-06 16:30';
var date_parts = date.split(' ');
# date_parts[0] <- date
# date_parts[1] <- time

Answer 4

if string contains valid date you just can convert it to Date object.
d = new Date("2012-02-06 16:30")
then you should have access to all methods of Date object.
getTime() - Number of milliseconds since 1/1/1970 # 12:00 AM
getSeconds() - Number of seconds (0-59)
getMinutes() - Number of minutes (0-59)
getHours() - Number of hours (0-23)
getDay() - Day of the week(0-6). 0 = Sunday, ... , 6 = Saturday
getDate() - Day of the month (0-31)
getMonth() - Number of month (0-11)
getFullYear() - The four digit year (1970-9999)
