Im creating a SharePoint-hosted app (restricted to use client side code only), and I want to retrieve documents from a library. Each document have a Target audience field.

I want to, in javascript:

  1. Read the Global audience from the list item
  2. Detect if current user belongs to the Global audience.

Is this even possible? I have browsed the web a lot for this.

No, audiences are not supported in the SharePoint client object model. Its only supported in the Server Object Model. In the past I created a Web Service in SharePoint that could take a user name and return the audiences for that user, leveraging the Server Object Model...but that approach probably doesn't work in your scenario.
