jQuery is a js library not a transport protocol, your data is sent via GET or POST, wether you use jquery or not.

Do not call your PHP files directly. This will break, because in some setups, the plugin directory might be located on another domain, and your file would operate without the WordPress context now.

What would be the easiest, cheapest approach for this?

In functions.php or, preferably, as a custom plugin:

When you load your process.php file directly, it's not within the context of the WordPress environment, so no WordPress functions are available. WordPress has a native AJAX API that should be used for this sort of thing.
First, enqueue your javascript file, then use wp_localize_script to pass the location of admin-ajax.php, which will be processing the ...

When you get those "headers already sent" messages, it is usually one of several things:
You are echoing something when you shouldn't be, which is any time before get_header on the front end. I can't remember exactly where the window is on the backend.

You can add a filter to the editor html
add_filter( 'the_editor', 'add_required_attribute_to_wp_editor', 10, 1 );
function add_required_attribute_to_wp_editor( $editor ) {
