Answer 1

1. Make sure Metamask wallet extension is installed first
2. You can get public key of loggedin account address only. ie. not someones account address.

if (window.ethereum) {
   try {
       const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' })
       const account = accounts[0]

       const publicKey = await window.ethereum.request({
          method: 'eth_getEncryptionPublicKey',
          params: [account],
       })
                
   } catch (error) {
       console.log({ error })
   }
}

Note: accounts is your metamask wallet address publicKey is your accounts public key
