Answer 1

It sounds like it might be On the Edge by Gillian Cross?

"Book Description
When Tug wakes up, he is not in his own bedroom at home. The door is locked and there are bars across the window. Loud music hammers through the house and through his head. Then a woman comes in and says that she is his mother, but Tug knows that she is not his mother . . .
Outside, Jinny stares through the trees at the lonely house on the hill. She hears strange noises, but she turns away. After all, it's none of her business . . . --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Synopsis
Tug wakes up in an unfamiliar place with people he doesn't recognize and is uncertain about his own identity. Meanwhile, Jinny knows that something strange is happening in the house and decides she must unravel the mystery herself in order to save the boy. She decides on a dangerous course of action to set Tug free, but will she be in time to save him? Gillian Cross is a critically-acclaimed and well-known author who has won may awards including the Carnegie Medal, the Whitbread Children's Novel Award, and the Smarties Prize."

If this is it there was a tv programme of it too I think. it's great book.

This is probably not what you are looking for, but in "Biggles and the Noble Lord" by Captain W.E.Johns (published 1969), Bertie and Ginger are imprisoned in the turret of a castle and alert Biggles and Algy by flying paper aeroplanes out of the window, giving their location.
