Answer 1

If I need to display a view in popup, then I will use ctools module. Ctools provide Modal dialog functionality to display element in modal.

You need to follow below step for the same:

• Create a custom module.
• Create Menu item which will interact with ctools modal.
• Define ajax callback for the menu item and return HTML of the modal using ajax.
