Answer 1

Use getAttribute:

$id = $node->getAttribute("id");
echo $id;

You may also want to refer to the manual for other functions that you need ;)

Answer 2

I've never heard of getElementsByAttributeName(), but if you want to just get the attribute of an element, the function is quite simple:

$xml = new DomDocument();
$xmlFile = "data.xml";          
$xml= DOMDocument::load($xmlFile);          
$product = $xml->getElementsByTagName("product");

foreach($product as $node) {          
  $id = $node->getAttribute("id");          
  echo $id;             
}
