Is it possible to use GlideAjax in Map Page? The main purpose for wanting to use GlideAjax is to be able to return value name string because one of column I want to use for COUNT is a reference from extend table. I kept either getting sys_id or empty value from reference column.

You don't need GlideAjax - that's used for a client script to get information from the server. The Script field on a map page is running server side.
If you just want a count, use GlideAggregate.

Have you tried dot-walking to sysapproval.short_description ?
It looks like the catalog item is copied to the short description at some point. Since sysapproval points to a task record and short_description is available on all tasks, it should work
