Answer 1

The Datepicker popup is handled by DatePickerPopover class of aui-datepicker module. There is show() method in datepicker class to open popup.

<input id="startDate" name="startDate" class="date-selector" onfocus="openDatePicker();">
<script>
    var datePicker;
    YUI().use('aui-base','aui-datepicker', function(Y) {
        datePicker = new Y.DatePicker({
            trigger: '#startDate',
            popover: {
                zIndex: 10,
            },
            calendar: {
                maximumDate: new Date()
            }
        });
    });
    function openDatePicker() {
        datePicker.getPopover().show();
    }
</script>

Date can be ranged by adding maximumDate and minimumDate attribute.

Try this something like this:

<aui:input name="taskStartDate" autocomplete="off" cssClass='font-size' id="taskStartDate"  onFocus="onClickOfStartDate();" required="true" inlineLabel="true" label=" "/>    

<aui:script>
    function  setactualStartDate(){

        AUI().use('aui-datepicker', function(A) {
            var simpleDatepicker1 = new A.DatePicker({
                trigger: '#<portlet:namespace />taskActualStartDate', 
                mask: '%Y-%m-%d',
                calendar: {
                    dateFormat: '%Y-%m-%d',
                },
            }).render('#<portlet:namespace />taskactualStartDatePicker');
        });
    }

    function onClickOfStartDate(){
        setStartDate();
    }
</aui:script>
