Answer 1

Use getTransactionDetails to get the payment object and then use it with the transaction id to issue a refund http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#payment-transactions-refund-a-transaction

Answer 2

yes this is possible but in different way.

First get the transaction details from transaction id, then get the credit card and expiration date from that transaction details then use this credit card number which will be 4 digits and expiration date(mask date) and setting the transcation id in refund. It will works fine. you can get more details here http://developer.authorize.net/api/reference/index.html#payment-transactions-refund-a-transaction
