Second question first:
svn list svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/tags
s/tags/branches/ if you want a list of branches. Note that there's
nothing special about tags or branches in SVN -- they're just
directories, with agreed-to-by-project-convention names. That's why
you don't find any commands that treat tags or branches as distinct
concepts.
First question:
cd to the root of your release24-maint checkout, then
svn switch svn+ssh://pythondev@svn.python.org/python/tags/r242
