Answer 1

Using Windows 7, 64-bit edition, with the latest Eclipse (Indigo) and the latest ADT plugin, I had the exact same problem. No Android project type, no Android in Windows/Preferences.

Like @Rubberman I solved the problem by totally re-installing Eclipse. Eclipse doesn't seem to use the standard Add/Remove Program stuff in Windows; I just deleted the Eclipse install directories and my Eclipse workspace directory, re-installed Eclipse, and re-installed the ADT plugin.

I would have liked to have just removed the plugin and re-installed without deleting the whole of my Eclipse install, but I couldn't figure out a way to do that. I don't see any way to remove a plugin, and when I tried to choose ADT for installation Eclipse gave me an error, saying "I can't install that because it is already installed."
