One of the easiest ways is if you take a usb3 device e.g. a usb memory pen and plug it in to a usb 2 port, it will give a popup to say that the device can perform faster in a usb3 port. You then know that the port you are using is usb2.

Without looking I could not say with 100% certainty, however, I have been around quite a few computers with multiple USB ports and if there is a port that looks a lot like a USB port it is usually an HDMI port. For example, this machine I am typing on has two USB ports and an HDMI on the left moving from front to back. And on the right is a single USB port. I would need to ask someone sighted which one is blue.
