While you got an answer to the first half, the second part takes
digging into multiple files. You want to look at the stock
filetypes in $VIMRUNTIME/filetype.vim first. If you've added any
plugins or scripts, they may have dropped in their own file-type
detection. To find them, you'd want to peek in all the files in
the "ftdetect" subdirectories of the paths listed in your
'runtimepath' setting (yes, it a bunch of places).

You can read more details in the help at

:help :filetype " for details on the global
:help new-filetype " for details on custom/local versions

Hope this helps,
