I generally use ElementTree for XML access, it is much simpler than 
xml.dom. But here is what I figured out:
The tag name is node.nodeName

If by property you mean attribute, you can get a list of all attributes 
by node.attributes.keys() and access the value of a particular one by
node.attributes['attributeName'].nodeValue

Google python xml.dom to find many more examples. Or Google ElementTree 
to find an easier way to do it...
