        array(
            'labels' => array(

Answer 1

$terms = get_terms( 'your_taxonomy_name' );

This will get you an array of term objects. Note your taxonomy name must be lowercase letters and underscores only.

Answer 2

$terms = get_terms( 'Event types' );

This will work for you. For better experience don't use capital letters and spaces in names of the taxonomy or any other variables names.
