Answer 1

Use the FQL language to get very quickly all the information you want:

$this->api->api(array('method'=>'fql.query','query'=>"SELECT uid,name,first_name,middle_name,last_name,pic_square,hometown_location,current_location,profile_url,email,website FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me())"));

For a list of all the tables with their corresponding column names I refer to: Facebook FQL Reference

Answer 2

When I wanted to get a list of my friends, and filter on just their name and website, this worked for me: https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?fields=name,website&access_token=someCrazyLongRandomlyGeneratedString

Seems like you should be doing that, and you would just replace 'name,website' with 'name,id,birthday,location' or whatever you'd like to get in the response from the list of fields contained in the User object: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/user/. I believe id is automatically included with the response, so you don't have to actually include it in the request.
