Answer 1

The acquiretokenbyrefreshtoken function is available in ADAL 2.X , that code sample is using ADAL 3.13.8 , and from ADAL3.X, library won't expose refresh token and AuthenticationContext.AcquireTokenByRefreshToken function.

ADAL caches refresh token and will automatically use it whenever you call AcquireToken and the requested token need renewing(even you want to get new access token for different resource).
