Answer 1

One option is to use Ancestors:
var modal = doc.GetElementbyId("duyuru3483");
var parent = modal.Ancestors()
.Single(e => e.Attributes["class"] !=null &&
e.Attributes["class"].Value == "item");
Another option is to use XPath:
var parent = doc.DocumentNode
.SelectSingleNode("div[#class='item'][//div[#id='duyuru3483']]");
(you can algo get directly to .dateBox using:
div[#class='item'][//div[#id='duyuru3483']]/div[#class='dateBox']
And, of course, you can just use ParentNode, but that is less robust:
var parent = modal.ParentNode.ParentNode.ParentNode;
All of these get you to .item - it should be easy getting the data from there.
