What is ruby ambrotype?
An ambrotype image on red tinted glass. The tint eliminates the need for the black background. I've read that the image must be removed from the frame in order to detect whether or not it is a ruby ambrotype.
Will a magnet stick to the backside of a case holding a ambrotype photo?
If the case is a typical Ambrotype case, and the image is a true Ambrotype, no, a magnet will not stick, since there is no metal in either. The Ambrotype is on glass, the case is made of wood and leather or cloth, or of thermoplastic and the metal frame that surrounds the image is made of non-magnetic brass. A tintype, on the other hand, is made from sheet iron, and a magnet will stick, though it would take a fairly powerful magnet to stick through a layer of wood or plastic between. A magnet will stick directly to the back of a tintype plate, however. To cover all the bases, neither will a magnet stick to a Daguerreotype, since the Daguerreotype plate is silver on copper, neither of which is magnetic.

What is an a-type print?
I presume you are not referring to an "a-type print" engine for a photocopier, and a Google search turned up nothing else even close. Thus I can only guess you have seen the word somewhere as a short form for ambrotype. The ambrotype, invented in the mid-1850's, also used the wet plate collodion process but the final image was converted to a positive one via a little trickery. Check Wikipedia for more.
How do you tell the difference between daguerreotype photos and ambrotype photos?
The Ambrotype was invented about 1854. It was made by placing a slightly underexposed (and sometimes bleached) glass plate negative (a.k.a. the wet plate colodion process) against a black background. Sometimes the back of the negative was shellaced instead. Unlike the copper plate Daguerreotype, which was introduced to the world in 1839, the Ambrotype image was equally discernable from all angles. However, the Daguerreotype was noted for the rich detail and subtleness of shading. Both types are typically encased within a frame and the image covered by glass, so it's not so easy to determine the materials of construction. It is a misconception of some that all Daguerrotypes have a characteristic sepia tone due to the use of copper as the medium base, but that is not the case.
