Yes.

Please read the "Debugger" node of the ELisp manual, it explains how to 
use the ELisp debugger called Edebug.

In a nutshell, you instrument the function you want to debug with 
edebug-defun, then use Edebug commands to step through the code.

No, you simply instrument only recover-session-finish.  Then, when it's 
called, Edebug will kick in automatically.
