again same kind of answer from my side for you,

You can try below code for your requirement

if (in_array('sales_order_reorder', Mage::app()->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles())){
     //your code
}

Answer 2

Use below code will work in observer to get full action name

        /*
         * Get full Action controller name in Observer
         */
        $request = Mage::app()->getRequest();
        $module = $request->getControllerModule();
        $module_controller = $request->getControllerName();
        $module_controller_action = $request->getActionName();

        $fullActionName = $module."_".$module_controller."_".$module_controller_action;

        echo $fullActionName;
