Mar 6, 2013 at 22:25 comment added Philip Engel Thanks for your answer, it partially resolves the case of my second question, by giving criteria for contractibility in the algebraic category in certain cases. I mainly wanted an explicit construction {\it in the analytic category} of the contraction. (The conditions would of course be weaker if we allow the contraction not to be an algebraic surface). Since the proposition above seems to be the best result about contractibility, I assume it is hard then to determine whether the resulting surface is algebraic...
