I think your question *1* has already been answered. For *2* I have the
following in my vimrc:

if has('user_commands') && has('syntax')
command -nargs=0 -bar WhatSyntax echomsg
synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),0),"name")
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),0)),"name")
synIDattr(synID(line("."),col("."),1),"name")
synIDattr(synIDtrans(synID(line("."),col("."),1)),"name")
endif

(this is three lines, one starting "if", a very long one starting
"command" and one with only the word "endif").

It will return four syntax names; but usually there are no more than two
different ones -- unless you can find a file which uses transparent syntax.

In some cases (e.g. on whitespace at the start of a line in a Vim
script) it doesn't show anything.

Best regards,
Tony.
