Answer 1

You can get an entity's metadata from CRM by issueing a RetrieveEntityRequest. In the response you get an EntityMetadata object having an Attributes collection providing all attribute details you need.
The CRM SDK contains clear example code on this topic. More information about working with attribute metadata can be found on MSDN.

Answer 2

I guess you are talking about the client functions to query the Business Process Flow attributes?
In CRM 2015 there is now clientside functionality implemented to the retrieve process, stage and step information.
With Xrm.Page.data.process.getActiveProcess() you can get the current workflow process and retrieve a Process object.
You can use the following methods to retrieve further and deeper information about the process:
Process:
string: .getId();
string: .getName();
stage[]:.getStages();
bool:.isRendered();
Stage :
string:.getId();
string: .getName();
int: .getCategory().getValue();| stage category Optionset
string: .getStatus(); | „active“ , „inctactive“
step[]:.getSteps();
bool:.isRendered();
Step (the attributes):
string: .getAttribute(); | logical attribute name
string: .getName();
stage[]:.getStages();
This works in CRM 2015 but not in CRM 2013.
