Hi Robert, If the type of bidding scheme returned is ConversionOptimizerBiddingScheme <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201409/AdGroupService.ConversionOptimizerBiddingScheme>, then the campaign is using the Conversion Optimizer bidding strategy. See the *Descriptive name* for each API bidding strategy type in the table in our Bidding Guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bidding>. That being said, could you send me your campaign IDs so I can confirm the behavior?
Regarding your second question, I'm not aware of any services that give CPA bid suggestions. The *DataService*, *TargetingIdeaService*, and *TrafficEstimatorService* all only give CPC bid information, not CPA.
