You can also append url querystring params in Magento like this: 

$params = array(
    '_query' => array(
        'category' => $_category->getId(),
        'product'  => $_product->getId(),
    )
);

echo Mage::getUrl('catalog/category/view', $params);

Here's a reference for the getUrl() method:

If you want to add on a query string to the end you could use this method:

$this->getUrl("catalog/category/view") . "?" .
http_build_query(
    "category" => $_category->getId(),
    "product"  => $_product->getId()
);

Although I see no reason not to use your first method, and then get the values from Magento as you need them, for example inside a controller you can do this:

$productId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('product');
$categoryId = $this->getRequest()->getParam('category');

Magento will then get those values for you from the url generated by your code.
