My URL:

How can I list the related products?
I don't understand how to get access to the `compressors` (a category entry of the product-family category type). The product-family is a structure - so there may be many levels.

(I thought I'd have access to the currently selected category via `entry` but I get error when I try to access it.)

The same way as entry is available if you hit an entry, the variable category is available if you hit a category. 
Thus the following code: 
{% if category is defined %}
    {# Specific category selected #}             
{% else %}
    {# No specific category selected #}
{% endif %}
