What do you mean about "know"? After encoding or decoding a frame,
you get a parameter returned which tells you which VOP time a frame
was: I,P or B.
If you want to determine yourself how to encode the next frame, that
you can do by passing the right "intra" flag to the encoder.

XVID only support Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile, so there are
no multiple objects, only one fullsize rectagular object per frame.

Yes, lots of them. A good starting point is the
"resources" section of www.m4if.org
