Answer 1

$this->getHelperPluginManager()->getServiceLocator()->get('application')
     ->getMvcEvent()->getRouteMatch()->getParam('action', 'index');

$controller = $this->getHelperPluginManager()->getServiceLocator()
                   ->get('application')->getMvcEvent()->getRouteMatch()
                   ->getParam('controller', 'index');


$controller = explode('\\', $controller);

print_r(array_pop($controller));
