1.
TypoScript isn't used in the BE. Only TSConfig. So you will never be able to set values per TS and retrieve
it with an BE module (except you do some really nasty things :)

2.
When you take a look at the ->main method of your piN plugin you will set that it is defined as follows:
main($content, $conf) {

The variable $conf is passed. Let's say if your plugin is called tx_myext_pi1 then you will be able to
retrieve the contents of
plugin.tx_myext_pi1 {
	key = value
}
by using
$conf['key'];

Normally you do:
$this->conf = $conf;

at the very beginning of your main method (except your extension has just a single method then thats useless
as you can always use $conf)


I also hop I made myself clear :-)
