you can solve this in different ways depending on how flexible you need
it to be.

That can be one possible solution. Also creating subrequests would be a
way. Depending on the overall application it could make sense to create
an abstract controller and set the categories in the initializeView
method of that abstract controller so it is available in all actions.

No, but you could maybe create a widget for the categories.
