1) Check this answer to handle the charting.* parameters to handle the overlay (your may have to adjust your search as well to include a calculation of the average in order to plot the mean line. Your 'timechart' invocation currently produces only min and max).

2) I don't think that JSChart will support overlays like this; your advanced XML shows a <module name="JSChart" ...>, you'll have to change that to FlashChart.
