Answer 1

You have to add two layout update in your layout.xml file

First to add your template in all pages

<default>
    <reference name="content"> // Changes you reference accordingly
         <block type="core/template" name="customtestblock" template="test/test.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</default>

Second to remove block from category page

<catalog_category_default>
    <remove name="customtestblock"/>
</catalog_category_default>

<catalog_category_layered>
    <remove name="customtestblock"/>
</catalog_category_layered>
