Answer 1

With version 1.10 of DataTables there is a displayStart option that will allow you to set the default page.

Note that the displayStart value is a zero based count of records, not pages. If you have 10 records per page, displayStart: 10 will show page 2

$('#my-datatable').DataTable( {
  'displayStart': 10
} );

Answer 2

There isn't an option in default options object. However you can call fnPageChange function on datatable to set the pagenumber.

var table = $('#data_table').dataTable();
table.fnPageChange(2,true);

Where 2 is the page number and the second parameter asks datatable to redraw.
