Is there a counter for section and a variable for the name of the current section?
Yes, no, but this info can be retrieved from the toc file which it
reads back in, or can be gained by redefining \pd@section, see below,
but that only works for the slides following each section. If you want
to use the title of a section in the entire presentation, see the docs
how to retrieve the info from memory. You may want to know that the
entire source has been documented almost line by line. Look for the
dtx and produce the full source code docs (see the docs how to do
this).
Best,
-Hendri.

\ORIGpd@section[#1]{#2}%
\edef\currentsectionnumber{\the\c@pd@section}%
}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{slide}{1}
\end{slide}
\section{2}
\begin{slide}{3}
current section name: \currentsectionname\\
current section number: \currentsectionnumber
\end{slide}
\begin{slide}{4}
current section name: \currentsectionname\\
current section number: \currentsectionnumber
\end{slide}
