Answer 1

Track the MailItem.Close / Write / AfterWrite events - Close will fire immediately before the prompt is shown, Write fires before the message is saved, AfterWrite immediately afterward.

Answer 2

There is no trivial way of getting such information. But you may track the sequence of events fired for the item and realize the answer following that way.

First, to handle item-level events you may develop a wrapper for an Outlook item like described in the Implement a wrapper for inspectors and track item-level events in each inspector article.

The MailItem.Close event is fired when the inspector associated with an item (which is an instance of the parent object) is being closed.

The MailItem.Write event is fired when an instance of the parent object is saved, either explicitly (for example, using the Save or SaveAs methods) or implicitly (for example, in response to a prompt when closing the item's inspector).

So, if you have got Close fired following by the Write event - that is your case!
