You can use conditional shortcodes to wrap where you insert the View so that it only applies when the current post belongs to certain categories.
There is fairly lengthy documentation at: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/conditional-html-output-in-views/
You might find the UI intuitive enough if you try it.
In your template highlight the wpv-view shortcode then press the conditional output button.
It should be clear enough how to test for the categories in question, which will insert a wpv-conditional shortcode around your wpv-view shortcode.
Your View lists users and you want to limit it to the user who is the author of the current post.
For that insert a Query Filter for a specific user where the user is specified by a shortcode attribute (which, as you can see in the screenshot defaults to 'users').
So we are going to pass the ID of the user as an attribute in our wpv-view shortcode that inserts the View.
We can generate the ID of the author of the current post using the wpv-post-author shortcode. Insert using the Fields and Views button so that it outputs the needed attributes (see screenshot).
Your final wpv-view shortcode will look something like this:
[wpv-view name="my user view" users="[wpv-post-author format='meta' meta='ID']"]
(Note that I had to edit the wpv-post-author attributes to use single quotes.)
