(I suppose #recurse just does nothing if there are no children, so
that #if is redundant there.)

whateverNode?node_namespace

If you know the attribute name, you write someElement.@someAttName.
If you don't know the attribute names you can list them with
someElement["@*"] (or someElement.@@ -- same thing, just not
immediately obvious for those who know XPath). Then if you have the
attribute name in variable, you can write someElement["@" + attName].

You don't usually. Unfortunately (as far as I know...) the XML infoset
W3C rec. doesn't state that xmlns attributes are not part of the
infoset, but for practical purposes they are irrelevant when
processing XML. You can query the namespace of the node belongs to
with ?node_namespace, for *each* node, regardless of the location of
the xmlns attributes.
