Uhmmmmm........for the first part - what about the exp utility? Yes, I understand how clumsy this is, but export does precisely what you're asking.

Use a dblink and select from various dba views(dba_tablespaces, dba_data_files, dba_tables, dba_tab_columns, etc.) to see the structural differences. Yes, I understand how clumsy this is, but it works.
