Is it possible to see in which album a photo is placed? And I've made an album with all the photo's without an album but when a photo's ones was in an album and afterwards deleted from this album it comes not back in this smart album. So it seems that there is something like a tag on each photo after placing it in an album. Can I delete this?

It is bug in Catalina: You have to remove any photo from an album, before you delete the album.Otherwise the photos will always be counted as being in an album, see:

You could try to use an AppleScript, to find the albums a photo is in, but Apple script is more complicated on Catalina when scripting albums than before, and very slow. I cannot early recommend to use this script, unless your library is very small or you are very patient: How to find out the albums a photo is in: Jacques Rioux's Script, Catalina Version for Photos 5 - Apple Community
I am mostly using smart albums based on keywords. Instead of adding a photo to an album I tag it with the album name as a keyword and the photos will appear automatically in a smart album with the rule "keyword is ... ". This way I can see in the Info for a photo all album names as the keyword.
