why is it katiNAK instead of katiNEK? Is there no vowel harmony with possession or with names?

It's pretty simple here, the letters 'i' and 'í' are neutral and generally follow the harmony of the rest of the word. Kati is a back-vowel name.

Last syllable for compound or foreign words; mixed vowel words which are not compound or foreign words take a back vowel.

Yes. The focus will shift from a neutral focus or focus on the person to focus on the object. "What does she have? - A radio."
