Answer 1

Best way to call content plugins in Joomla! 1.5 and above is just use:

$text = JHTML::_('content.prepare', $text);

Answer 2

You can call any event of plugin which is defined in that plugin.

$dispatcher = JDispatcher::getInstance();
$data = array($argu1, $argu2);   // any number of arguments you want
return $dispatcher->trigger($eventName, $data);
