Sure. If you've got a reference you can check its type with the SvTYPE macro. For example (untested): 

if (SvROK(sv) && SvTYPE(sv) == SVt_PVCV)
   warn("sv is a code reference (CV) alright.");

As for your second question, you can check that an sv is a reference to an object of (or derived from) a given class using sv_derived_from() (untested all the way):

if (SvROK(sv) && sv_derived_from(sv, "Foo"))
   warn("sv isa Foo");

And to check that a method is valid for a given class you can do something like (really untested): 

if (gv_fetchmethod(gv_stashpv("Foo", 0), "Foo::bar"))
   warn("succeeded in finding Foo::bar");

Now, I doubt I answered your all your questions, but you weren't exactly clear about what you're trying to do. Maybe you can explain in more detail?
