B, I think any that passes the FBI tests will do as well as can, I think that's part of it. I haven't seen a specific auto glass test, Erin did have this on general tests: http://www.luckygunner.com/labs/self-defense-ammo-ballistic-tests/
B: I haven't seen any such tests in a long time, but I know of a few anecdotes. Windshields have deflected both .38 Spl. and .45 ACP rounds on several occasions that I know about. 9mm is much more effective. In fact, when the Illinois State Police became the first large U.S. police department to adopt the 9mm (S&W Model 39) in 1967, they did it because of the 9mm's superiority penetration of auto bodies and auto glass. Of course, a lot depends on the angle.
I was wondering how long it would take the gun nuts to scream "See, you can kill people with a truck too!" Idiots.
