Answer 1

Check this Article:

This error may show up when an Opportunity record you own is transferred to another User. This may appear even if the User that is being specified as the new owner has read access to Accounts, Contacts or Opportunities.

You can try:

Depending on the Profile, or License used, you might check whether you can provide more access, maybe the Profile does not allow for access, but the license could, in which case you could add extra permissions to the Profile to broaden access.

A user with a Salesforce license, has the broadest permissions, if you would use a different license, a Community kind of license, a Force.com license type, or maybe a Chatter license type, access to objects might be different, and you might not all be able to give permission to the related objects.

Answer 2

You can us RecordTypeInfo class to determine which records types are available to a user.

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult R = Account.SObjectType.getDescribe();
List<Schema.RecordTypeInfo> RT = R.getRecordTypeInfos();
for (Schema.RecordTypeInfo RTI : RT) {
    if (RTI.isAvailable()){
        // they have access to this record type
    }
}
