If I have the level, I can keep my own list of necessary heading types (subject, subsubject, ...) and just get the one at level+1 to write the heading using lua (tex.sprint()).
With the reference name I can obviously solve 2), since I then can simply keep a list for each db table in the jobpasses structure.
You can try the \currentstrcuture… commands but I don’t know if the are meant as user level commands.
\starttext
\chapter{Chapter}
\starttabulate
\NC Name \EQ \currentstructurename \NC\NR
\NC Level \EQ \currentstructurelevel \NC\NR
\stoptabulate
\section{Section}
\starttabulate
\NC Name \EQ \currentstructurename \NC\NR
\NC Level \EQ \currentstructurelevel \NC\NR
\stoptabulate

In case I haven't told you before: you are awesome!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Due to this I also found \currentstructurereference and a bunch of other commands :)
Once you know that "structure" is the keyword, "strc-sec.*" is just around the corner.
Regarding your earlier mail (\definesectionlevels ...):
Wow, there is really a lot of "hidden" functionality in ConTeXt. If you lay out the document with these commands from the beginning, that really eases restructuring tasks. However the readability (of the source code) slightly falls off. I will evaluate this further. Thanks for this too :-)

Hello,
again I'm working on a technical manual and decided to use ConTeXt to do the
job. Since I'm a developer, I always try to do things as flexible as possible.
I'm currently struggling to achieve two things:
1) a macro (that will print a list) should also add a heading. However, the
heading should always be one level beneath the current heading and without
numbering. Example: within a \section it should be a \subsubject, within a
\chapter it should be a \subject, and so on.
\definesectionlevels[extra][title,subject,subsubject,subsubsubject]
\setuphead[chapter][color=red]
\setuphead[section][color=green]
\setuphead[subsection][color=blue]
\define\PlaceList
{\startsectionlevel[extra][title=List]
%
\stopsectionlevel}
\starttext
\startsectionlevel[title=Chapter 1]
\PlaceList
\startsectionlevel[title=Section 1.1]
\startsectionlevel[title=Subsection 1.1.1]
\stopsectionlevel
\startsectionlevel[title=Subsection 1.1.2]
\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel
\startsectionlevel[title=Section 1.2]
\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel
\startsectionlevel[title=Chapter 2]
\startsectionlevel[title=Section 2.1]
\PlaceList
\startsectionlevel[title=Subsection 2.1.1]
\stopsectionlevel
\startsectionlevel[title=Subsection 2.1.2]
\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel
\startsectionlevel[title=Section 2.2]
\stopsectionlevel
\stopsectionlevel
\stoptext
