                    string emailID = Convert.ToString(hstEntityData["Email"]);
                    String DisplayName = Convert.ToString(hstEntityData["DisplayName"]);
                    Emailarray.Add(emailID);
                }

Answer 1

Kindly have a try with the below code to get the display name using Javascript from the client side:

var user = $("span.ms-entity-resolved").attr("title");

Here user is the variable which will have the display name in text format.

How about using the email to resolve your SPUser object?
