The tank in picture number 1 is your coolant overflow tank, it cycles coolant from the radiator. The tank in picture number 2 is your washer fluid bottle.

Actually, that forward reservoir tank is for the headlight washers. The rear window washer is fed from the primary (windshield) tank.

haha I wouldn't know. Hopefully Alabama will never step over to the darkside and make us have smog checks. Half of our cars would turn out illegal! People here don't give a DEZAMN!

Haha, we did that on one of my friends cars once. Except we did it with the front sprayer things. The way they were aimed we could spray cars in the lanes beside us. It was pretty freaking funny to see the looks on peoples faces cause they didn't know where the water was coming from.

Does the pump really generate enough pressure to fire it far/high enough to hit targets while traveling at a low speed?

I probably wouldn't rig it up that way for the sole reason that my car is so memorable that the next time the victim sees my car, they're liable to key it up!
