Answer 1

Invoke an AJAX request through the RadAjaxManager client-side API: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/controls/ajax/client-side-programming/overview. Something like:
getAjaxManager().ajaxRequest("someOptionalArgument");
You can find similar code in the drilldown chart demo: http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/htmlchart/examples/drilldownchart/defaultcs.aspx. It changes the datasource of the current chart but the client-side logic is the same.
On the server, just make sure to recreate the second chart with each subsequent postback, as any other server control.
