Answer 1

Get all Categories of the Product

load( PRODUCT_ID );
    $categoryIds = $_Product->getCategoryIds();//array of product categories

    foreach($categoryIds as $categoryId) {
      $category = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($categoryId);
      $this->_setAttribute('product_type', $category->getName(), 'text' );
   } 
?>
