Basing your code on another web application's page parsing is error prone and very difficult to maintain. Imagine that if facebook changes the rendered HTML, your application won't work.

I would strongly suggest to use some facebook API. Check facebook SDK for .NET or Facebook API for C#.NET developers on codeplex.

Regarding the emails, you have to check the permissions issue. This post gives details.

Hope I helped!
