ANSWER:
As georgiecasey comments, the original answer is totally wrong. In short, yes, it’s very easy to view source code of Google Chrome extensions, it’s just ZIP file with different file extension.
You can’t see source code of plugins, except for open source plugins. That’s proprietary information.
Knowing exactly what those are accessing: that’s tricky. You can start with sysinternals tools for Windows, or for example strace for Linux. However, it’s not really easy task to do, as there is huge number of system calls.
