Widgets are a bit different from web parts in terms of macro resolving.

To get the value of a property of the current web part, use only: {% PropertyFieldName %} {% WebPart.GetValue("WebPartControlID","PropertyFieldName") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%} - it will easily resolve for current instance. but for widget if we take (static html) I think you need to call MacroResolver.Resolve(Eval("FieldName").ToString()) in the code behind.

You can normally in the webpart container.

However, I did create a transformable web part that does exactly this, it's on the marketplace, and passes your web part/widget properties into the transformation you set. Very convenient!
