There are no different TYPES as I'm aware of at all. Pseudocode is nothing in particular. It's just a way of mapping out an algorithm of some kind without going into specific details about how it will be performed in any specific programming language. The nature of how one may write down their own particular brand of psedocode is heavily based on whatever language they feel most akin to using.
Pseudocode is used to convey an understanding rather than getting bogged down with any specific language so pseudocode having any FORMAL structure is just an oxymoron.
It's great when you trying to convey a point to a group of programers who are all writing in different languages.

No. Pseudocode is not used to write complete programs; rather, it is an overview of what you want to achieve. For example, the following pseudocode is for a program to print a list of square roots: for i = 1 to 10 show i, i*i A specific programming language may not have a "show" command, and the structure of the "for" loop might be different; additional setup and cleanup commands may also be required in a real computer program; the purpose of this pseudoce is merely to explain, to a human, what you want to achieve. The real code, with more detail, will have to be added later.
