Answer 1 :
Both, but NJ should credit what you pay to NY.
Answer 2 :
If you file both and do the paperwork correctly, then you might only have to pay New York, because the NJ tax might not be any more than the credit for tax paid to NY, so you might owe NJ $0. If you do not file both, meaning that you file one or the other, or none, then you do have to pay both.
Answer 3 :
according to IRS your tax home is where you work unless the job is a short, temporary, less than a year assignment so if this is not the case you will file NY return and non resident NJ
