1. The Dropbox Chooser doesn't offer a way to get the full metadata, such as the path, like this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. I can't promise if or when that might be implemented though.
2. Unfortunately the Dropbox Chooser wasn't originally really built to work with the API like this, so it doesn't return namespace/root information that would be useful when handing off to an API integration. So, I'm afraid I don't have a good solution to offer here. I'll likewise pass this along as a request to offer a better option, but again I can't promise if/when that might be done.
