Not sure where the render tag doc'n comes from - should be available
from OpenText.

Where is your ASP code? In a template or in a separate file in the
Plugins directory?

If your code is in a template, just paste the code in.
If it's in a file that you are calling with a url, add it as a url
parameter abcd.asp?parentPageGUID="<%!!
Context:CurrentMasterPage.Id> !!%>

If you're calling the plugin from the actions menu or someting, you're
kinda hooped.
You might be able to parse it out of one of the session variables, but
I didn't see one that had the current outer page guid.

I'd suggest creating a form, adding parentpageguid as a hidden field
along with anything else you need, setting the action of the form to
the asp file in the plugins directory, and giving the user a submit
button.
set the target to _blank and you should be good. You can get fancy
with javascript later if you want to control window size and options.
