Answer 1

To add custom javascript to your site you should look at the wp_enqueue_script function.

You can use this in your theme's functions.php, or in a plugin file that you create, depending on whether you want it to be a part of your theme or not.

The following example is from the page linked above and also covers the equivalent function for enqueuing CSS:

/**
* Proper way to enqueue scripts and styles
*/
function theme_name_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'style-name', get_stylesheet_uri() );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'script-name', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/example.js', array(), '1.0.0', true );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'theme_name_scripts' );
