I think this is the expected behavior. PostMessage will be called and
then the callback attached to it will be executed, then the context
return and you can execute more.

Nope there is no such mechanism in place.

Nope some tasks are happening in parallel but unless you use something
like Web Worker there is not parallelism out of the box in JavaScript.

https://blog.mozilla.org/javascript/2015/02/26/the-path-to-parallel-javascript/
is a good article about it.
