Answer 1

There are no recurring payments or subscriptions in Shopify at this time. External Apps are used to fake that, so you'd be looking at how they work, and interacting with them to determine recurring payments.

If you mean recurring charges for Apps you make, there is an API endpoint you call that will tell you everything you want to know with a GET. As per the docs, see here:
