Answer 1

You can make an educated guess simply by looking at the length of the hash, as generally there's only a handful of popular hashing algorithms used for passwords, all with their own distinct output lengths:

Hash	Output length (bytes)	Output length (bits)
MD5	16	128
SHA-1	24	160
SHA-2 (SHA256)	32	256
SHA-2 (SHA512)	64	512
