You gain 1 Certification Point every 250 XP.
XP is gained by
- Killing enemies
- Capturing bases
- Repairing vehicles, MAX units or turrets,
- Healing or reviving allies,
- Hacking terminals (Infiltrator),
- Resupplying allies (Engineer or Sunderer with Ammo Dispenser)
You also get 12 Certification Points per day by just logging in.
If you want to gain experience (and thus Certification Points) at a faster rate you can buy a membership or one of the short term experience boosts (or both at once, even better) with Station Cash (bought with real money).
Unfortunately the answer is no. Your only option is to ping the server from the command line.

These are liable to change in the future (especially after a server reset) so it may be necessary to use wireshark to obtain the IP.

A deployed Sunderer will give the pilot 5 XP each time a player uses it as a spawn point.
For each tick of ammo resupplied to a unit, the engineer gains 10 XP.
For every x seconds of continuous healing (or y hit points healed continuously, not sure) 10 XP is awarded to the medic. The same goes for repairs but with a reward of 5 XP. Reviving a player rewards 75 XP. Healing/repairing damage that was inflicted by an ally provides no XP.
In each of the above cases, the XP reward is increased when interacting with a player in your squad.
