   1. @Dipannita –
      Suppose name of the category is ‘Magento’ (excluding quotes).
      So for getting category id you need to use this code

      //get category model
      $category_model = 
      Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->loadByAttribute('name','Magento'); 
      echo 'Category ID -> '.$category_model->getId(); //get category id
      

      For sub categories refer this post of mine – http://blog.decryptweb.com/child-categories-magento/
      Hope this helps you.
