It would be a great addition to be able to upvote/downvote from the extension, and see an overview of who made the post (user) with karma details

This should be really helpful at showing me what sites I think I should submit to HN that have already appeared as popular in the past. Really neat plugin, already enjoying looking at sites with it!

That's a bit complicated due to the lack of a real API.

So is it for submitting sites to HN or for seeing site rank from the extension? (or both?)

I can’t see why it’s a good feature, since upvotes count when something is hot on HN, when it’s not hot you can simply “submit” it and it upvotes for the previous submitter but HN is for discover of new stuff, less for “maintaining point of interest” for that btw you can try kifi.com

It does both. If a web-site wasn't submitted before, you can quickly submit it by clicking on the extension. So it works as a share bookmarklet too.
