Depends on how you create the VMs.

For example, if you create it by hand, then if you DON'T have a line
"builder='hvm'" in the VM config file, then you're using PV. If you
use some kind of frontend (e.g. libvirt) it should have an option to
choose VM type.

no

yes. Xen intentionally hides it because xen uses it, and no other
process in the dom0 can use it anyway.
