You can add get the view by
MyPlugin.getDefault().getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindo w().getActivePage().findView(VIEW_ID);
and then send the view a message with the file.

For the actions you've defined that are going to be added to the menuManager, simply instantiate with a new object you've created, e.g:

Action action = new YourNewObject();

"YourNewObject" will extend Action and implement IWorkbenchWindowActionDelegate.
