B) Okay I found the answer to B):
I am using:
$categoryArray = 
$this->modelObj->findAllCategories('','',$this->conf['pidList']);

A.)If I do as I wrote in A) everything works. Is there a reason not to 
set this config variable to another value?

C.) Q still open

D.) Is there a plugin/module collection site where I can upload the code 
s.t. someone else can use/develop it further?
