Answer 1

You'll almost certainly need a headless browser to do that, not just running JavaScript code without the context it expects to run in. This question and its answer list some headless browsers that can be used from C# (not all of them have JavaScript support, though). That list may well be out of date now, but that's the term you need to search for.

Answer 2

Try https://javascriptdotnet.codeplex.com/ .

It exposes Google V8 JS engine to CLI and also allows to CLI objects to be manipulated by JS
