Yes: inspect
((slap_overinst*)op->o_bd->bd_info)->on_info->oi_orig->bi_type
it's a string containing the name of the original backend type.

Yes: cook an Operation structure with data appropriate for a
LDAP_REQ_ADD, set
BackendDB db = *op->o_bd;
Operation op2 = *op;
SlapReply rs2;
op2.o_bd = &db;
db.bd_info
= ((slap_overinst*)op->o_bd->bd_info)->on_info->oi_orig
and call
op2.o_bd->be_add( &op2, &rs2 );
There's plenty of examples in overlays released with OpenLDAP software.
