The part name is stored in FieldData in an array called "Name"
 
So, the answer to both of your questions are:
 
1) get a specific output, for example the 0th output
 
reader.GetOutput().GetDataSet(0,0)
 
2) get the name of the part
 

reader.getOutput().GetDataSet(0,0).GetFieldData().GetArray("Name").GetPointer(0)
 
the command above gives the following answer when run with EnSight's
demo file ami.case
 
' external flow field'
 
hope this helps.
