Answer 1

you could define a new variable and save the URL Path of the List within the newly created variable. After that just extract a substring at the position of the Listname.

For instance your URL Path to the List is:

'http://shppage/Lists/NameOfList/AllItems.aspx'

just get the substring after Lists/ up to until /AllItems

In this Case, copy Substring from 20 to 30(Into the Variable:ListName).

Answer 2

You could create your WF as a Reusable WF based on your list content type, then create an association form parameter, so that you can write list name when you associate your WF to the list. Now you have this parameter available in your WF.
