The short answer: don't do it in JavaScript.

The long answer (and it will save you tons of time):

Create a Java class that has a method taking a Notes document and an attachment name as parameter to a method, returning a Map<String,String> with field names and values.

Build the inner function using POI. Test the whole thing from command line (Obviously you need a helper class to init your Notes Session and get the document). You will find plenty samples for POI you can use there.

When all of that is working, you can write in your SSJS:

         var extractor = new com.yourcorp.Extractor();
          var result = extractor.getFields(doc, attName);

That is the only SSJS part you would use. Let us know how it is going.
