Reset to default 2If you consider jQuery to be JavaScript it sure is.
See here:
http://api.jquery./jQuery.post/
If you're going to be doing a lot of this sort of thing in your development in the future, I'd highly remend you get used to using jQuery.
If you really want to you can use XMLHttpRequest. All major browsers support it.

Yes
According to this its not possible.
No. The Same Origin Policy, in general, prevents you reading data from different origins. Pre-flight checks sometimes prevent you sending data, but there are several ways to circumvent the policy.

XMLHttpRequest and jQuery.ajax are well documented.
As per the article, if the URL is not in the same origin, it is not possible. This is for security reasons.
If it's within the same origin (domain) then it is possible.
Pure JS (no frameworks) examples here: http://www.w3schools./ajax/ajax_xmlhttprequest_send.asp
