Answer 1

It is usually Magento Block that render template. In your case productivew is rendered by

Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View.

You can easily figure this out by enabling template_hints and template_hints_blocks. To enable these to option follow steps below:

1. Go go Admin
2. System > Configuration
3. In left column, Select Developer under Advance.
4. Change Current Configuration Scope to website level (template_hints and template_hints_blocks is applicable at website level only)
5. Make yes to Template Path Hints and Add Block Names to Hints under Debug group.

Answer 2

you can rewrite this class:

Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View

and then you can add your own logic to it to switch to another template, not the standard

catalog/product/view.phtml
