Answer 1

chrome.windows.update(windowId, { state: "fullscreen" })

See http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/windows.html#method-update

Answer 2

In your extensions "background.js" script:

chrome.app.runtime.onLaunched.addListener(function (launchData) {
  chrome.app.window.create(
    // Url
    '/editor.html',
    // CreateWindowOptions
    {
            'width': 400,
            'height': 500
    },
    // Callback
    function(win) {
        win.contentWindow.launchData = launchData;
        win.maximize();
        win.show();
    });
});
