1) When an activity is started from another, to the best of my knowledge, the only way to get back to the original activity is to use the back button on the device (assuming the activity is not one you created). If the second activity is one you created, then you could probably place a button on it that simulates the behavior of the back button.
2) Android does not have anything built into the OS that allows you to see what is running. The only built-in way to switch between running applications is to launch it again they way it was initially launched. However, there are several apps that you can download that provide this functionality, and I am working on one myself.
