Answer 1

For Motorola (Zebra) devices, you can use the datawedge plugin https://github.com/BlueFletch/motorola-datawedge-cordova-plugin.git

Once you've added the plugin to your project, you have to add code to your app to initialise the barcode reader and then you will have to run the Datawedge application to add a profile for your cordova application.

With that you'll be able to use the super-fast native reader of Motorola devices.
