Answer 1

$this->controller is not defined by default. You have to save a reference to the controller manually, for example in the initialize() method of your component:

public function initialize(&$controller, $settings = array()) {
    $this->controller = $controller;
}

Then you should be able to access the controller's properties and methods.
