In Atlassian Confluence you can develop custom Macro or Gadget. What is the difference between these two? From what I have seen: "Gadgets are generated by scripts that run entirely in the user's web browser, not on the Confluence server"
What are the implications of it?
IMU gadget may stop working when your company's firewall blocks access to its provider, as soon as it's hosted outside of the corporate WAN perimeter; macroses won't stop as they're hosted on the Condluence server which is inside your company's perimeter.
Not applicable for On-Demand instances, though.

I need to show to a user an interface of some application running on a server using a browser. It should be like RDP-client for a single application on a server.
Are there any solutions or services that can implement following functionality? Maybe Citrix?
Thanks in advance!

About FreeRDP-WebConnect
FreeRDP-WebConnect is an open source gateway for accessing RDP
sessions using any HTML5 compliant browser. In particular it relies on
the Canvas and the WebSockets feature. FreeRDP-WebConnect is a
subproject of the FreeRDP project.
On the server side, a standalone daemon - written in C++ - provides a
Web page via HTTPS (or HTTP, if configured) and uses FreeRDP libs to
connect as a client to any RDP session. The server side WebSockets
implementation handles current RFC6455 only, so browsers that
implement the older drafts do not work. With RFC6455 being raised to
the "Proposed Standard" level, this should change now really soon.
I would create an account on the server for the user, and only give it access to the one application it needs access to.
You can use Cameyo. To start, create yourself a free account, and click on "Add App". If your installer supports unattended installation, you simply need to submit it. Otherwise, you can build a Cameyo package locally and send it in. It will then be playable as HTML5.
You don't indicate what server you are running on.
As an alternative to FreeRDP-Webconnect cited above, also open source and also using FreeRDP as rdp client through an HTTP gateway, there is Myrtille.
FreeRDP-WebConnect embeds a standalone daemon written in C++ to provide a web page via HTTP(S), and so will also work on Linux servers, while Myrtille have a IIS/.NET (C#) implementation and an MSI installer, thus is more intended for Windows Servers.

This works on a Cloud Service (Web Role), on a standard server (with execution policy disabled), but not in a Azure Web Site.
Anyone know why this is so?
I don't know of any official documentation on the issue but there are multiple answers on the related forums where Microsoft employees talk about the limitations of not being able/allowed to launch external processes in Windows Azure Web Sites. See
PHP - Warning: exec(): Unable to fork
PDF Generator failing on Azure Website but not development machine
Recommended HTML to PDF Generator that works on Azure Website Reserved mode with Full Trust
You are probably trying to do that with your powershell script.
You could verify if that is in fact your issue by catching and looking at the exception(s) which should relate to security policies/permissions.
I have doubts about how could I create objects, actions and aggregation and test it on development environment. Since facebook needs to scrap my webpage to get the object when i register an action. How could I configure my dev environment?
I've had my network guys poke a hole in the firewall to my dev server and have updated DNS point my development subdomain (ie dev.domain.tld).
My website at Azure suddenly started showing a basic "Umbraco welcome site" instead of my website hosted on azure. I do not know why, Umbraco is not included in my sourcefiles as far as I know.
When I do http://www.mywebsitename.com it works fine and my azure website gets loaded, but when I dont include 'www'; http://mywebsitename.com - it just shows the "Windows Azure Accelerator for Umbraco" page saying:
"The Windows Azure Accelerator for Umbraco is designed to enable Umbraco applications to be easily run on Windows Azure. The accelerator has been designed to enable you to rapidly deploy Umbraco applications and updates to your application without redeploying a full Windows Azure Service Package. For more information about the accelerator, please visit the CodePlex site located here."
I do not know why this behaviour suddenly happened, how can I get rid of it? I think maybe this behaviour started when I played around with some storage-blobs
Is your DNS set correctly for the URL without the 'www.' and is your Azure app listening for both www. and the empty subdomain? Sounds to me like the URL without www. is hitting a different application.
Is it possible to develop facebook apps locally on my system so that the callback URL need not be a public URL like http://abc.com and instead can be an internal IP address like localhost http://127.0.0.1?
It is now possible to develop Facebook apps locally.
I believe this is true especially if you're developing in an iframe, which is now the standard way of developing facebook apps (FBML is deprecated).
In case this does not work, there are still some ways to make working more convenient.
Take a look at this answer:
Testing FB apps is still a rather primitive process.
I generally setup a test application that is a complete copy of the production settings inside the FB development environment that uses an SSH tunnel to point to my development server. You can setup as many applications as you need inside FB - I generally have a development application, a staging app and production. Staging and Production are both on "live" servers rather than an SSH tunnel.
The rest of the answers to this question detail different workflows that people have utilized to make it more convenient to develop on a remote host.
you can use http://127.0.0.1/ProjectName as the callback url, or your ip address itself
