Some time ago I have been gathering the tests I had on my machine on
this (informal) repository:
https://github.com/infapi00/at-spi2-examples

So, a example of how to list the running applications registered to
at-spi2 using pyatspi2:
https://github.com/infapi00/at-spi2-examples/blob/master/python-pyatspi2/list_applications.py

There aren't any specific example for your second request. You could
take a look to the other examples on that repository, an pyatspi2, to
see if you can infer that. If you need more ellaborated code, you could
take a look to accerciser and orca code.
