Here is a code snippet to get sales quote and order data in both admin and frontend in Magento.
Get Sales Quote in Frontend
Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getQuote();
Get Sales Quote in Admin
$quote = Mage::getSingleton('adminhtml/session_quote')->getQuote();
Get Latest Order in Frontend
$orderId = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastRealOrderId();
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->loadByIncrementId($orderId);
Get Latest Order in Admin
$order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->getCollection()
->setOrder('created_at','DESC')
->setPageSize(1)
->setCurPage(1)
->getFirstItem();
Hope it helps. Thanks.
