You have a couple of choices: search page by page, or get the 
references to the found entries, and work out the pages they belong to 
from there. The former will probably be the best method, although it 
probably depends on the document.

Try something like this:

tell application "InDesign CS"
		set find preferences to nothing
		set change preferences to nothing
	tell document 1
		set theStyle to paragraph style "myCategories"
		search (every item of all page items of page 1 whose class is text 
frame) with find attributes {applied paragraph style:theStyle}
	end tell
end tell

No. You'll need to check for overflow, and add frames as needed.
