I know very little about JS, but these are fairly easy to accomplish in AS.

[1] get path to home folder

will return the equivalent of the "~" path.

Or in your specific example to get an image in the desktop folder you could also use something like:

set myPath to ("" & (path to desktop folder) & "New:1.jpg")

If you want it returned with slashes instead of colons in the path, add posix path of:

set myPath to posix path of ("" & (path to desktop folder) & "New:1.jpg")

[2] I think the last line of your AS should be something like "return myResult". Then whatever variable you assign the doScript to should get the results you return.
