Answer 1

You can try this:

{% recursetree nodes %}
    #check if the node is a child node
    {% if node.is_child_node %}
        <a href="{{ node.get_absolute_url }}" >{{ node.name }}</a>
    {% endif %}

    #check if a root node is the current category
    {% if node.is_root_node and node.name == category.name %}
        {{ children }}
    {% endif %}

{% endrecursetree %}

Answer 2

You need to send down some information about what node you're in, and then it's a simple if statement.

Regarding how to send down the node information universally, there are a couple ways to do this in Django, and none of them are perfect. My preferred method is context processors: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/templates/api/#writing-your-own-context-processors

Answer 3

{% recursetree nodes %}
  <li>
      <a href="/category/{{ node.get_absolute_url }}">{{ node.name }}</a>                           
       {% if node.name == category.name %}
         <ul>
            {{ children }}
         </ul>
       {% endif %}
  <li>
{% endrecursetree %}
