Answer 1

You can add a Script Editor Webpart and use the rest api to get the user profile details.

Below is a snippet which show you to get an instance of people manager using rest api

$.ajax({  url: "http://<site url>/_api/sp.userprofiles.peoplemanager",  type: "GET",headers: { "accept": "application/json;odata=verbose" },  success: successHandler, error: errorHandler});

On Success you can write your logic how you wanted to use the User profile data.

You can also create a sandbox Webpart and use the below code. Add the user profile dll and using Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.UserProfiles; in your code

const string serverUrl = "http://serverName/";  
        const string targetUser = "domainName\\userName";



        // Connect to the client context.
        ClientContext clientContext = new ClientContext(serverUrl);

        // Get the PeopleManager object and then get the target user's properties.
        PeopleManager peopleManager = new PeopleManager(clientContext);
        PersonProperties personProperties = peopleManager.GetPropertiesFor(targetUser);

        // Load the request and run it on the server.
        // This example requests only the AccountName and UserProfileProperties
        // properties of the personProperties object.
        clientContext.Load(personProperties, p => p.AccountName, p => p.UserProfileProperties);
        clientContext.ExecuteQuery();

        foreach (var property in personProperties.UserProfileProperties)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0}: {1}", 
                property.Key.ToString(), property.Value.ToString()));
        }
        Console.ReadKey(false);
