Apple Photos: question 1: When I select any photo, how can I see in which album it is located?
Question 2: How can I select the photo's that I did not yet put in an album.

Dear Léonie,
Thank you very much for this solution and for your quick reaction. I have a mess of more than 10,000 pictures and it is very important for me to know which pictures I did not organize yet.
Thanks also for the other tips.

Question 2 is easier to answer.
To see all photos not yet in any album, create a smart album (file > New Smart Album) with the rule "Album > is not > Any". This will work in any system version of macOS 10.14 or later. (in Photos 5 in Catalina you may encounter a bug: Problems with the Smart Album Rule: Album is not Any in Photos 5.0 - Apple Community)
As to question 1: There is no tool in Photos to show you the album a photo is in. You can make it easier by adding the name of the album a photo is in as a keyword to the Photo. Or add the keyword later, after selecting all photos in an album with ⌘A while viewing the album. Then you will see in the info of a photo the names of the albums you added the photo to. A Photo can be added to many albums without needing more storage.
Or run an Apple Script to show search all albums for the photo and list all albums.
You're welcome 😊
