Answer 1

You dont need ConnectApi to get the photoURL

You can query User Object to get PhotoURL of any User ,The User object has SmallPhotoURL and LargePhotoURL as fields .This holds the profile photo of chatter

Edit

Blob image = attachment.body;//its the blob of your attachment body or blob data of your image
    //Call the Connect API to Change the Photo
     if(!Test.isRunningTest()){//Since for this we dont have any way of testing this we skip using isTesting Flag
                ConnectApi.BinaryInput b=new ConnectApi.BinaryInput(image,contenttype,'myimage');
                ConnectApi.ChatterUsers.setPhoto(null,userinfo.getUserId(),b);
     }

You will need first blob data of your image and then construct connectapi.binary Input from that and then use setphoto to change photo of user.Set photo pass userId and binary data
