No.

The "uid" that you must pass to "uncatalog_object" is the same
one that has been passed to "catalog_object".

No.

Yes.

The easiest way to determine the "uid" is probably
to locate the object via a catalog search. You will get a catalog proxy
for the object, often also called "brain".
This proxy has the method "getPath()"
which returns the object's "uid" -- don't ask about the inconsistent
naming (at one place "uid", at another one "path").
