1/ You can have a look at the following script: Get the allocation map of tablespaces.

2/ See DBMS_SPACE package (especially SPACE_USAGE and UNUSED_SPACE procedures)

Can you please share those some reasons (what exact business need) for you want to know the addresses of blocks which contains the free space ? Its oracle internal algorithm and it works under the cover that which block should be picked up to satisfy insert/update for good space allocation.

You didn't ask for this question, so we didn't answer to this one.
You want to know core algorithm for what exactly?
