  1. do you mean something like:

    ...
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
        ?>  
    <p><a class="modalbox" rel="<?php echo $post->ID; ?>" href="#inline">Open Popup</a></p>
....

    Jquery Code

    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $(".modalbox").on("click", function() {
           var postId = $(this).prop("rel"); //post id stored in rel attribute
           $(this).fancybox();
           ......
        });
    });
</script>

  2. I have never worked with wordpress, but the documentation said the following:

    if (have_posts()) :
while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>  
     <p><a class="modalbox" id="<?php the_ID(); ?>"  href="#inline">Open Popup</a></p>
<?php
    endwhile;
    wp_reset_query();
endif;
