Try this. You need his facebook ID or his facebook name.

var fields = [
      'id',
      'name',
      'first_name',
      'middle_name',
      'last_name',
      'gender']


FB.api('/{insertIDhere}', {fields: fields}, function(details) {
  // output the response

});

Or take this code from the FB Api Documentation

FB.api(
"/{user-id}",
function (response) {
  if (response && !response.error) {
    /* handle the result */
  }
}
);

to login you need something like this : 

FB.login(function(response) {
    if (response.authResponse) {
        //login successfull
    } else {
       //anything else
    }
}, {scope: 'public_profile,email,user_friends'});

If you are logged in you could use something like this:

FB.api(
    "/me?fields=id,name,picture.redirect(false).type(large)",
    function (response) {
        if (response && !response.error) {
            facebookId              = response.id;
            facebookName            = response.name;
            facebookProfilePicture  = response.picture.data.url;
            callback(facebookUser);
        }else{

        }
    }
);

You can't. Searching by email or phone is not possible.
