Facebook page likes don't have anything to do with where the facebook page ranks let alone your website ranks. The facebook page is ranking well mostly because of the internal links and probably a few externals if any going to it. If you're suggesting that you main domain has mostly nofollow links you should continue looking for ways to get dofollow links since links is what will help you rank higher. Good quality contextual links are best and at the least on a page which is cached by Google.

Again connections and likes do nothing to promote your facebook page. I bet if you create a page with such unique content that there are no other sites on the web with those words it will rank with 1 like. Google calculates facebook page rankings the same as it does your main website. Using hundreds of signals from onpage to off page and who knows what else. But likes i'm sure are not part of their algorithm.

If both pages are ranking in the top ten that's great. You should be asking people who visit your main website to like you on facebook and link to your facebook page. I wouldn't though have any link building campaigns focus solely on my facebook page. You have much more control of your website and what you can do with it vs facebook. So get them to your website, get them to opt in to your mailing list and to like you on facebook so you can continue marketing to them once they've left your website.
