To cancel a job in the queue, you can POST:

http://jenkins/queue/cancelItem?id=x

To find x, you can parse the result of:

http://jenkins/queue/api/json?tree=items[id,task[name]]

To cancel a build that is in progress:

http://jenkins/job/<jobName>/y/stop

To find y, you can parse the result of:

http://jenkins/job/<jobName>/lastBuild/api/json?tree=building,number
