The getType() function on ParmVarDecl returns the type of the parameter. getOriginalType() returns the type as it was written in the source code.

A LinkageSpecDecl is a DeclContext, which you can traverse using its member functions decls_begin()/decls_end(), which return DeclContext::decl_iterator iterators. This is how you traverse anything that has nested declarations, including namespaces and classes.
